The University of Alabama signee out of Pinson Valley High School, which is just outside of Birmingham, finished the fall with 54 catches (6.8 per game) for 848 yards and six touchdowns for ICC, who finished 6-2 on the campaign. Jennings was the only player from a north division school to receive this prestigious honor.
“I was a little surprised when Coach (Jeff) Carter told me the news this afternoon,” said Jennings during a break from his conditioning workout with his new Indian baseball teammates. Jennings, who was selected in the 18th round by the Cleveland Indians in last year’s draft, now turns his attention to playing baseball at Itawamba Community College after his stellar season on the football field. “This is a great honor and I couldn’t have done it without the help of my coaches and teammates. With Coach Carter’s offensive schemes, I was able to get the ball a lot and that made it easier for me. All I had to do was run my routes right and make plays.”
