Jennings, a converted quarterback, became the Vols’ No. 2 receiver last year as a sophomore and gained a reputation for making miraculous catches.
Most notable among them was the Hail Mary touchdown catch against the Georgia Bulldogs. However, he also had the go-ahead touchdown that put the Vols in front of the Florida Gators for good.
This year, with Josh Malone leaving, he is expected to be the No. 1 receiver in the Vols’ offense.
