Jennings is South Alabama’s 11th verbal commitment for the 2024 class, the eighth from inside the state of Alabama. He hails from the same high school that also produced quarterback Gio Lopez, currently a freshman with the Jaguars.
The early signing period for the 2024 class begins in late December.
