Ali Jennings News, Rumors, Updates - Virginia Tech Hokies

Explodes vs. Duke Jennings reeled in 6 of 9 targets for 158 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-28 defeat against Duke.

Impact Jennings had an extremely quiet season up to Week 13. in fact, the receiver tallied just seven catches for 164 yards in total prior to the Duke game, where he nearly surpassed those numbers. He was the clear favorite target of Colin Schlee, which is worth noting if the gunslinger starts another game for the Hokies.

Scores on lone reception Jennings reeled in their only target for 12 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-31 overtime loss against Syracuse.

Impact Jennings only saw one throw all day, but he reeled in the catch for a 12-yard score. It was just the receiver's fifth catch of the season.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Warming up with second-team Jennings was spotted warming up with the second team ahead of Virginia Tech's clash with Stanford, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact Jennings was very limited against Miami last week, although he did play. The wideout clearly still has some limitations, but he may be closer to full capacity this week. Either way, Jennings looks like he'll be good to at least play once again in Week 6.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in return Jennings was limited to just six snaps in his return during Friday's 38-34 loss to Miami.

Impact Jennings was able to return to the field this week, but he wasn't targeted and was limited to just six offensive snaps in the contest. The 6-foot-2 senior wideout has logged four receptions for 117 yards and one touchdown across four games, and he will look to get more involved next week against Stanford.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Going through warmups Jennings (undisclosed) is going through warmups and could feature in Friday's game at Miami, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Jennings didn't look at his best when running routes in warmups, but he's also been included in punt return drills, meaning he might have a role one way or the other. It's unclear if he's fully healthy, but it seems he may give it a go after being limited to just 10 snaps in the Week 4 game against Rutgers.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Full participant in practice Jennings (undisclosed) was a full participant in practice for Virginia Tech on Tuesday, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Jennings didn't play against Rutgers last week as the wideout continues to deal with an undisclosed injury. However, being a full participant in practice this early in the week is certainly a good sign for the receiver who's proven to be a big-play threat when he's on the field, reeling in four grabs for 117 yards and a score so far this fall. The Hokies play an early game in Week 5, as they'll travel to Coral Gables to face Miami (FL) on Friday night.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

DNP vs. Rutgers Jennings (undisclosed) did not play during Virginia Tech's 26-23 loss Saturday against Rutgers.

Impact Despite being expected to play against Rutgers, Jennings did not, missing out as Virginia Tech lost what could have been a crucial win. Up next for VT is the team's September finale at Miami on Friday.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to play vs. Rutgers Jennings (undisclosed) will play against Rutgers, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Jennings was reportedly going to be a game-time decision, but it appears as if the receiver is ready to roll. This is big news for the Hokies as they try to topple Rutgers, as Jennings is one of their top receivers despite a relatively modest stat-line early in the season with four catches for 117 yards and a score.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Saturday Jennings (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Rutgers, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jennings is a true game-time decision Saturday, with his availability expected to be decided during pregame warmups. He has caught four passes (on 10 targets) for 117 yards and a touchdown during his three games this season.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Status day-to-day Jennings is day-to-day due to an undisclosed problem, Mike Barber of The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

Impact Jennings was limited during Virginia Tech's team practice Tuesday, resulting in his day-to-day status. Currently, it is also questionable as the Hokies prepare to host Rutgers on Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Held in check vs. ODU Jennings accrued two receptions (on four targets) for 26 yards during Saturday's 37-17 win versus Old Dominion.

Impact Jennings was limited against the Monarchs, but it's better than the zero catches he hauled in the week prior. After a big performance in the opener with 91 yards and a score, Jennings has been a limited participant in this passing offense with just four catches through three games. With the way his quarterback, Kyron Drones, likes to run the football, there may not be as many opportunities for too many receivers to eat in this offense.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in opener Jennings hauled in 2 of 3 targets for 91 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-27 overtime defeat versus Vanderbilt.

Impact Jennings was expected to be the Hokies' top wideout this season, and he played like it in Week 1. Though he only saw three targets and reeled in two of them, he was a big-play machine with 91 yards and a score. They'll look to be more consistent and efficient, but the Kyron Drones-to-Ali Jennings combination looks like it could be dangerous this fall.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in opener Jennings hauled in 2 of 3 targets for 91 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-27 overtime defeat versus Vanderbilt.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to school Jennings will rejoin Virginia Tech for the 2024 season, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact Jennings will utilize his fifth year of collegiate eligibility and rejoin the Hokies for a second-and-final season. The 6-foot-2 senior tallied five receptions for 72 yards in Virginia Tech's opener against Old Dominion, but he missed the remainder of the 2023 season with a foot injury.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

DNP at Louisville Jennings (foot) did not play during Virginia Tech's game Saturday at Louisville.

Impact Jennings has now sat out seven of Virginia Tech's nine games played during 2023. Next, the Hokies are expected to play at Boston College on Nov. 11.

NOVEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

DNP against Syracuse Jennings (foot) did not play during Virginia Tech's game Thursday against Syracuse.

Spotted warming up Jennings was seen warming up with cleats on, catching passes from quarterbacks ahead of Virginia Tech's tilt with Syracuse, Damien Sordelett of The Lynchburg News & Advance reports...

Impact Jennings has been out with a foot injury since Week 2, and at one point it seemed likely that he may miss the remainder of the season. It's still unclear if the wideout will play or even what his timeline for a potential return may be, but it's an encouraging sign to see him warming up so soon after injuring his foot.

OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not ruling out return Jennings (foot) still hopes he could be available again during 2023, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact Being back at the tail end of Virginia Tech's 2023 season should not be a problem for Jennings, who would be expected to play two games at most to secure a medical redshirt. He has already played two games so far this year. However, Jennings being again in 2023 remains wishful thinking and may not even happen should his foot recover slowly.
