Myles Brennan, Senior
Once again Brennan is heading into the offseason with a quarterback battle on his hands. It was supposed to be him and Max Johnson battling it out in the fall for the starting job. He suffered an injury to his nonthrowing arm, ending his shot in 2021. After entering the transfer portal, Brennan withdrew his name after a conversation with new head coach Brian Kelly.
The signee from the 2017 class has the most experience of the group, but not by much. While he has appeared in 18 games, only three came as a starter. In the three-game stint as the starter in 2020, Brennan racked up 1,112 yards with 11 touchdowns. It was a promising start that ended abruptly.
There are some durability concerns as we saw the last two seasons finished with him on the injured list. If he can stay healthy, you have to like his chances to start. However, there is one glaring concern in his game. Brennan isn’t known as much of a mobile quarterback. He is known as a pocket passer that resembles a statue.
That isn’t the end-all for Brennan but it could come into play when they make the decision.
