Jennings originally signed with Alabama over offers from Auburn and Memphis, among others. His older brother, Anfernee Jennings, still plays for Alabama.
South Alabama, of course, is the team that upset Mississippi State 21-20 last season. The Jaguars finished 6-7 overall and eighth in the Sun Belt Conference.
