LSU Football: Anthony Jennings to Transfer, No One to Care
In the same realm of caring about your favorite team’s third string center, so resides the information that Anthony Jennings has been granted his release from LSU.
Anthony Jennings appeared destined for greatness in 2013. While backing up Zach Mettenberger, Jennings appeared in 9 games. His first start – and victory- came in the Outback Bowl after Mettenberger went down and was unable to play in the bowl game.
Since then, though, he has done absolutely nothing of relevance except get arrested before the 2015 season started. Jennings appeared in only two games in 2015 after only completing 49 % of his passes in 2014.
It’s time to add another 4 star quarterback to the list of promising careers that Les Miles has ruined during his time leading LSU football.

Let’s take a look at the good and bad of this move for LSU football and other teams around the SEC.
The Good:
For LSU football? Nothing. If I had to say something, it’d be that it freed up a scholarship.
For the rest of the SEC? I guess it’s good for the rest of the SEC that this offensive juggernaut won’t have their backup quarterback. Haha. Juggernaut. Offensive. I crack myself up.
Overall significance? It’s about as important as former Ole Miss quarterback Ryan Buchanan quitting football.
The Bad:
For LSU football? Brandon Harris isn’t exactly a stud and now he doesn’t have any competition to push him in the off season. Wait, Anthony Jennings wasn’t going to provide any competition anyway. I guess it always helps to have another player that knows the system. Does a guy that can’t complete half his passes actually have a grasp of the offense, though?
For the rest of the SEC? Jennings won’t be transferring to any SEC school so none whatsoever. It’s too bad — he’d probably make a solid slot wide receiver.

Overall significance: Mississippi State is searching for a quarterback. I’m sure they wish they could offer Jennings. Outside of that, there’s nothing bad for the SEC here.
