THE SCOOP ON JENNINGS . When he committed to attend FSU, Jennings was not the first member of the family to become a Seminole. His father, Bradley Jennings, who starred in high school at Miami Carol City, played for Bobby Bowden from 1997-2001.
While you would think the pressure to head to Tallahassee was heavy on his mind, the Sandalwood standout made the decision on his own.
Following in the footsteps of his father and his older brother, who is at the University of Miami, this edition of the Jennings family is considered to be among the top five outside linebacker prospects in the nation.
He is one of the prospects who figures to see some early playing time for an FSU program that is rebuilding.

A’Mahri McCray, 6-1, 200, Miami Northwestern. Ever since he was a freshman at North Miami High, this was a prospect who was the center of attention. His move to win a state title with the Bulls last year opened the eyes of colleges all over the nation, but it was the local program that stepped up. This FIU commitment has an opportunity to help his team make a major impact in 2020 when the season gets started.
