Scouting Verdict
Undersized point-guard quarterback who has won a lot of meaningful games without ever quieting the measurement questions. Jennings dragged SMU to an ACC title game and the Playoff in 2024 (3,245 yards, 23 touchdowns), then raised the passing volume in 2025 — 3,641 yards, 26 scores on 66.1 percent. The competitive resume is real, and his own coach argues he is under-discussed among the sport's best. However, the interceptions never came down (11, then 13), and the rushing production evaporated — 354 yards in 2024 to 54 in 2025 — which for a 6-0, 192-pound passer removes the trait that offsets the size. Back-to-back double-digit-pick seasons is the number this evaluation cannot get past. The 2027 projection is priority-free-agent-to-late-flier territory: a developmental QB3 whose accuracy and toughness earn a camp invite, with a clean-decision senior season the only path higher.
