Jauan Jennings, another of Tennessee’s ten early enrollees, is obviously a bit raw at the quarterback position, but his ceiling (especially in Butch Jones’ offense) is incredibly high.
It’s impossible to know how Jennings will fare at the position at the SEC level, but he has the potential to be a playmaker.
Jones would probably love to redshirt Jennings in 2015, giving him a year to learn from the sidelines and perhaps prepare him to take over the offense as a redshirt sophomore in 2017.
