Kansas State linebacker transfer Branden Jennings has received a waiver from the NCAA for immediate eligibility to play this season at UCF, a team spokesperson confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel on Friday night. Jennings, who began his college career at M aryland, was a 4-star linebacker out of Sandalwood in Jacksonville during the 2021 recruiting cycle. While athletes are allowed to transfer without sitting out a season thanks to the one-time transfer rule approved by the NCAA in April 2021, Jennings nee ded special clearance because he had changed schools once before.After a freshman season in the Big Ten with the Terrapins in which Jennings totaled 23 tackles (17 solo), 1 tackle for loss and forced a fumble in eight games, he entered the NCAA tr ansfer portal in November. The 6-foot-3, 235-pound linebacker spent the spring semester at Kansas State before entering the portal a second time in April. Last month following a visit to campus, Jennings committed to the Knights and enrolled for the summ er as UCF became his third college in less than two years. - Orlando Sentinel

After going through the NCAA transfer portal process for a second time, Branden Jennings has finally settled on a destination. The linebacker announced he will be playing for head coach Gus Malzhan and the UCF Knights during the 2022 season. Jennings pla yed last year with the Maryland Terrapins as a true freshman but left the program in favor of the Kansas State Wildcats.

Now, the Jacksonville, FL native will return to his home state of play for UCF. Jennings played in eight games last season with Maryland, having 23 tackles, a tackle for loss, and a forced fumble. He left the program after the year finished and went through spri ng practice with the Wildcats. - Orlando Sentinel and On3
