Jennings High School, hell of a back. Had more legal trouble than Cecil Collins. Didn't his coaches have to get him out of jail so he could play in the state championship in 93?

Story I heard was law enforcement was waiting for him when Jennings returned from the Superdome after beating Cecilia in the state championship game. He supposedly took off out of the backdoor of the bus, but for one of the only times that season, he was caught.

Don't know how much of that story was urban legend. But I do know he could have picked any school he wanted to as a running back and he had an offer from Rick Pitino to play point guard for Kentucky. What a stud.
