who added game-changing ability to both sides of the ball for the Tigers in 2024 after transferring in from Graham (VA). The Penn State commit has P4 athleticism and showcased that on offense and defense rushing for 1,300 yards and 23 touchdowns along with 12.5 TFLs and 10 sacks on defense. He’ll also more than likely be a stand-up EDGE rusher for the Nittany Lions in the future with gifted traits for that position. Jennings moves fluidly and effortlessly, especially in condensed space with very good lateral quickness and the speed to run down quarterbacks from the backside.

is a P4 Edge prospect but had a dominant game on the ground in the Tigers’ 63-9 win over Hampshire in the first round of the playoffs. The 2026 athlete totaled 6 touchdowns on the night with 5 coming on the ground as he rushed for 266 yards on 12 carries and added his 6th touchdown on a 73-yard reception. Jennings ran the ball very hard and showed his P4 athleticism once he got in space with homerun speed. His size and power also jumped out on film with many broken tackles inside the box before breaking free.

showcased his athletic versatility in the Tigers’ lopsided 63-7 victory over rival Bluefield. Known for his pass-rush ability on defense, Jennings can get it done on offense as well and did so as a runner and receiver on Friday night. He rushed for 55 yards and 2 touchdowns on just 3 carries and was just as efficient as a receiver with 2 receptions for 34 yards and a third score. The Penn State commit is just one of those special athletes who can do anything on a football field and will be a vital piece to their state championship goals over the next two seasons.

made headlines when he announced that he would be returning home to Princeton after a two-year stint across the border at Graham (VA). Jennings recently made his commitment to Penn State and you don’t need to be a football expert to know what kind of impact he’ll have for the Tigers this season on both sides of the ball. He’s an elite high school pass rusher and will form a dynamic 1-2 punch on the edge with fellow 2026 Princeton prospect

whose duo will be hard to rival in West Virginia. Jennings looked great against his old squad in a recent scrimmage and should put up some eye-popping stats as a defender this season.
Jennings is a game wrecker and improved the Tigers’ odds mightily to win their first state championship in school history this season and next.

made shockwaves around the state and region when he announced he’d be returning home to Princeton after a stint across the border at Graham (VA). The 6’4 235 LB/Edge is a P4 recruit with offers from WVU and Penn State with more sure to be on the way for the rising junior. Jennings will debut at #2 in our 2026 rankings and the #1 LB prospect in the class. He certainly doesn’t look like a current sophomore in high school from a size and build standpoint and has the athletic ability to match it. Graham used him as a 3-4 OLB last season where he proved to be an elite young pass rusher and even got him reps at running back. I expect Princeton to use him similarly and possibly even some traditional DE reps if they elect on an even front. The Tigers are poised to make another state championship game run in 2024 in the new Class AAA, and Jennings may just be the piece they need to get over the hump for their first title.
