Rather than transfer and exercise immediate eligibility, Brennan will be calling it a career and retiring from the game.

Brennan was in a quarterback battle this offseason with Arizona State transfer Jayden Daniels, redshirt freshman Garrett Nussmeier and freshman Walker Howard.

Starting the first three games for LSU in 2020, Brennan passed for 1,112 yards and 11 touchdowns before a torn abdomen suffered against Missouri ended his season.
