Career highlights and awards

Kevin Jennings (born April 10, 2004)[1] is an American college football quarterback for the SMU Mustangs.

Early life

Jennings grew up in the

Texas A&M–Commerce (now East Texas A&M).[5]

College career

Jennings made his first collegiate start against Tulane in the 2023 AAC Championship Game after starter Preston Stone suffered an ankle injury during the Mustangs' regular season finale against Navy; Jennings finished the game with 266 total yards as SMU won 26–14.[6][7]

Entering the 2024 season, Jennings was listed second on the Mustangs' depth chart as Stone had recovered from injury.[8] Prior to the Mustangs' season opener at Nevada, head coach Rhett Lashlee announced that Stone and Jennings would be splitting playing time; this arrangement lasted for the first three games, with Stone starting all three before Jennings came in.[9] On September 10, during the team's bye week, Lashlee announced that Jennings would be the Mustangs' starter.[10] Against Florida State, Jennings threw for a career-high 3 touchdowns as the Mustangs won 42–16.[11]
