New LSU quarterback Myles Brennan has his hands full in 2020.
Not only does he have to replace the most successful quarterback in school history in Joe Burrow, but he must do it with several new starters all around him.
Fortunately for Brennan, he has players like Ja’Marr Chase and Terrace Marshall to ease his transition.
Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Brennan hasn’t gotten to work with his teammates in a way that would be ideal this offseason.

So, as he detailed in an interview with LSUSports.net’s Emily Villere Dixon, that’s led to some unusual workouts through the spring and summer.
“I was at home pretty much the whole quarantine,” Brennan said. “We would Zoom every morning at 8 and then I would go work out and then I would come home and my parents set up an obstacle course, but it was really just — we have a bunch of trees on our property — so they had targets spray-painted onto the trees.”
So, how did Brennan add strength during these workouts?
“It was crazy because before I actually found a place to work out at, I was just walking around the property with a chainsaw one day and cutting down trees, I could use it and bench it and put it on my back and squat it,” Brennan added. “I was trying to make the best of what I had.”
While it’s certainly not the normal offseason for a new starting quarterback, it appears to have worked out well for LSU’s new signal-caller.
