LSU’s Miles Brennan Walking Away From Football

Miles Brennan, LSU’s starting quarterback just two years ago, will no longer play football from LSU’s athletic program.

Brennan’s decision brings his college career abruptly to an end after five years with the team.

Posting on social media, Brennan announced that he is “stepping away from football.”

“Over the last five years, I have given all of my body, heart, and soul to LSU football. Playing for LSU has been a dream come true. Wearing the purple and gold, running into Death Valley, winning a national championship, and starting at quarterback for the LSU Tigers – what more could a kid ask for? I will never forget the time I’ve spent and the memories I have made here,” he said in a statement.

Brennan took over as the head signal caller for the Fighting Tigers in 2020, one season after they won the National Championship with quarterback Joe Burrow at the helm.

The Tigers begin the 2022 season with a new head coach — Brian Kelly — and a clean slate to right the ship after two consecutive sub-par seasons.

Speaking about Brennan, Kelly was gracious about the quarterback’s abrupt exit.

“We are grateful to Myles for everything he has done for LSU Football,” LSU coach Brian Kelly said in a statement. “Myles is a great leader who has made a tremendous impact on this program, and he has earned the respect of everyone here through his commitment and love for LSU.”

Brennan has been a part of some of the best plays for LSU over the past two years, especially in 2020, his lone year as a starter. Here are some highlights.
