Sixth-year senior quarterback Myles Brennan has experienced the highs and lows college football has to offer. With injuries derailing his career, the loyal Tiger has decided to hang up his cleats and will not be a member of this program moving on.

Rather than transfer and exercise immediate eligibility, Brennan will be calling it a career and retiring from the game.

Brennan was in a quarterback battle this offseason with Arizona State transfer Jayden Daniels, redshirt freshman Garrett Nussmeier and freshman Walker Howard.

Starting the first three games for LSU in 2020, Brennan passed for 1,112 yards and 11 touchdowns before a torn abdomen suffered against Missouri ended his season.
