The injury left a scar down the length of his left bicep. He let the injury heal on its own instead of undergoing a surgery doctors would've named after him. During an entirely open practice last Thursday, he primarily took second-team reps while Arizona State transfer Jayden Daniels ran the first-team offense. “We are grateful to Myles for everything he has done for LSU Football," head coach Brian Kelly said in a statement. He spent six weeks looking for a new school, and the day he planned to make a decision, Kelly asked him to return to LSU. Brennan withdrew his name, hoping for one more chance to start for a school he loved. Sixth-year senior Myles Brennan has ended his college football career after returning to LSU for one more chance to become the starting quarterback, the school confirmed Monday.

In a surprising twist, LSU Senior quarterback Myles Brennan announced on social media Thursday that he will remain with the Tigers program.

LSU coach Brian Kelly confirmed Brennan's departure early Monday afternoon. “We are grateful to Myles for everything he has done for LSU football,” Kelly said.

In 28 career games at LSU, Brennan completed 121 of 201 passes (60.2 percent) a for 1,712 yards and 13 touchdowns with six interceptions. Brennan was a four-star recruit in the 2017 class out of St. Stanislaus Catholic School in Mississippi, and backed up starter Danny Etling as a freshman and Joe Burrow in 2018 and 2019. “We are grateful to Myles for everything he has done for LSU football,” Kelly said.

For starters, Brennan was apparently buried on the depth chart. Reaching the over on 6.5 wins (-135) wins may appear like a big ask for a program in a transition year, but when you take a look at the schedule, it really doesn’t seem that hard to imagine.

Myles Brennan was in the mix for LSU's starting QB position, but things have taken a turn.

Brennan originally joined LSU as a 4-star recruit in the 2017 college football recruiting class as the No. 4 player from Mississippi, according to 247Sports. The decision comes after Brennan was informed by LSU football coaches that he will not be the team's starting quarterback when the 2022 season begins, according to a report from Louisiana radio host Kristian Garic. "We are grateful to Myles for everything he has done for LSU Football," Kelly said in a statement.

He will have to speed up his processing time at LSU in order to make up for the challenge of playing against aggressive SEC West defensive backs. He entered the transfer portal for a period in November, but ultimately returned to campus after the coaching change from Orgeron to Kelly. In 2021, Brennan again had a shot to earn the starting job but broke his arm off the field, which kept him out for the entirety of the season. Brennan showed real promise, completing 60.2% of his passes for 1,712 yards passing and 13 touchdowns in 20 career games. With Brennan gone, the Tigers are down to Daniels and Nussmeier battling it out for the starting nod. "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."

I am forever grateful for every opportunity I've been given, every obstacle I've overcome, and every second I've been a Tiger. However, after five seasons, it is time for me to start a new chapter in my life. “Myles has always embodied the traits required to fulfill our mission to graduate champions, and we have full confidence those traits will help him succeed at every step in his journey as he moves forward.” In 2021, an off-the-field arm injury cost him another opportunity at starting; the injury occurred just two days before the start of training camp. I will never forget my time in Baton Rouge. I love LSU and all our fans. I will never forget the time I've spent and the memories I have made here. It's unclear why Brennan, a one-time LSU starter whose opportunities were robbed by injuries, decided to step away from the game in its entirety.

The sixth-year passer shocked the college football world on Monday with his decision to walk away from the game of football.

Brennan saw a pair of season-ending injuries during the last two campaigns that limited him to just three games in that span, all of which were starts. The news took the college football world by storm, and LSU fans — in addition to the national media and other outside observers — were taken aback by the decision. LSU was the center of perhaps the biggest story in the college football world on Monday when news broke that sixth-year quarterback Myles Brennan, considered one of the top competitors to win the starting job in 2022, decided to retire from football.

Brennan backed up Joe Burrow during the team's 2019 national championship run.
