Kevin Jennings, the quarterback for the SMU Mustangs, is reportedly prepared to play in the season opener against the Florida State Seminoles. This comes after he suffered a finger injury earlier this month when it got caught in a locker room door during fall camp.
Head coach Rhett Lashlee expressed optimism regarding Jennings' recovery, noting that the redshirt senior has started throwing again without experiencing any pain. Lashlee mentioned that Jennings will have a complete two weeks to get ready for the game, with expectations for him to be fully fit by kickoff.
The injury was not deemed serious, and Jennings' return is considered 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.
