Kevin Jennings, quarterback for the SMU Mustangs, is reportedly ready to participate in the season opener against the Florida State Seminoles. This comes after he sustained a finger injury earlier this month when he accidentally caught it in a locker room door during fall camp.
Head coach Rhett Lashlee conveyed optimism about Jennings' recovery, mentioning that the redshirt senior has started throwing again and is not experiencing any pain. Lashlee noted that Jennings will have a complete two weeks to prepare for the game, aiming for him to be fully fit by kickoff.
Lashlee shared an update on Jennings, stating that his recovery is progressing positively. The injury was not deemed serious, and Jennings' return is crucial for SMU's performance 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, indicating an area for improvement as he gears up for the new season.
