This guy saw very limited action his freshman season after a redshirt year before establishing himself as a key member of that Bama front in 2017.

Jennings put together a strong stretch late but unfortunately missed the National Championship game that year. Last season he got the job done consistently, recording 13 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks and an interception, Jennings might have never put up any huge numbers, but he can put pressure on the opposition and have an impact on games.

At 6’3”, 260 pounds Jennings such an incredible amount of natural power that he just toys with tight-ends in the run game and doesn’t give up any ground to anybody.

As a pass-rusher, the Bama outside linebacker wins with his ability to read pass sets and counter them accordingly. He has an impressive arm-over swim-move and a devastating club to throw guys off balance.

Moreover, Jennings has a unique gift of realizing when to put his hands up to knock down balls, leading to 11 batted passes in 2018. Unfortunately, he isn’t as flexible or twitched up of an athlete as some of these other guys around the country, but I’m pretty sure he’s one of the least favorite ones to face because of his physical style.
