Recruiting: LSU grabs dual-threat QB commitment

LSU has grabbed a major out-of-state coup when four-star dual threat quarterback Anthony Jennings committed to play for the Tigers.

Jennings, who plays his football in Marietta, Georgia, was ranked as a four-star recruit by Rivals. He gained offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky and the two Mississippi schools in the SEC as well as a number of other Big Ten and Big XII schools – including West Virginia, Wisconsin, Nebraskas and Iowa.

Steve Kragthorpe did the recruiting.

BOTTOM LINE: Les Miles is a fan of dual threat quarterbacks and although Jordan Jefferson had his (many) problems, JaMarcus Russell and Matt Flynn could both run in the purple and gold – and both have gone on to the NFL.
