[edit] College career

He went to Pittsburgh in 2005 and became only the fourth true freshman running back to start there. However, his father became ill, and he transferred to Liberty to be closer to home in spring 2006. He was suspended for the first two games of the 2007 season due to a rules violation concerning a campus housing stipend. Despite this, he excelled at Liberty, setting a Big South Conference record with 3,633 yards with 42 TDs and a 5.7 yards per carry average[1].

[edit] Jacksonville Jaguars

After being coached by the Jacksonville Jaguars' staff during the 2009 Senior Bowl, Jennings was selected by them in the seventh round (250th overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft. He scored his first career touchdown in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs, running for 28 yards. In 2011, he suffered a concussion in the first preseason game[2], and then injured his knee in the third preseason game. After the preseason, he was placed on injured reserve, ending his 2011 season[3].
