Anthony Jennings (born October 31, 1994) is an American football quarterback. He played college football for the LSU Tigers from 2013 to 2015 and the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns in 2016.
Jennings attended Marietta High School in Marietta, Georgia. He was ranked by Rivals.com as a four-star recruit and the sixth best dual-threat quarterback in his class. Jennings committed to play college football at Louisiana State University in June 2012.
As a true freshman in 2013, Jennings was the backup quarterback to Zach Mettenberger. After Mettenberger tore his ACL, Jennings started the 2014 Outback Bowl against Iowa. Overall he appeared in nine games, passing for 181 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Jennings entered his sophomore season in 2014 as LSU's starting quarterback. In 2015, Jennings lost the starting quarterback job to Brandon Harris. On March 10, 2016, LSU announced that Jennings intends on transferring to another school. At the time of the announcement, he was scheduled to graduate in the summer of 2016. As a graduate transfer, he would be eligible to play immediately at his new school. He then decided in July 2016 that he would go on to play for UL-Lafayette and would be highly favored to win the starting job.
Jennings was arrested on Thursday, June 25, 2015 with two teammates for breaking and entering and burglary. http://theadvocate.com/sports/lsu/12689249-123/lsu-qb-anthony-jennings-two
