Kevin Jennings, the standout quarterback for the SMU Mustangs, is reportedly ready to play in the season opener against the Florida State Seminoles. This comes after he injured his finger earlier this month when it was caught in a locker room door during fall camp.
Head coach Rhett Lashlee provided an update on Jennings' recovery, indicating that the redshirt senior has started throwing again and is experiencing no pain. Lashlee expressed optimism, stating that Jennings is expected to have a complete two weeks to prepare for the game and aims to be fully ready by kickoff.
The injury was not deemed serious, and Jennings' return is crucial for SMU's aspirations this season. Last year, he recorded impressive statistics, including 3,641 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, and a completion rate of 66.1%. However, he also led the ACC with 13 interceptions, pointing to areas for improvement as he gears up for the upcoming season.
