Jennings Redshirting 2023-24 Season
Kasen Jennings (foot) is redshirting South Florida’s 2023-24 season, according to USF program director Darek Sharp. Despite beginning 2024 just two-to-three weeks away from logging his South Florida debut, Jennings seemed to need more time for his injured foot. Instead of waiting for a February debut, he will redshirt USF’s 2023-24 season. On the plus side, Jennings maintains at least one more year of collegiate eligibility.
