Myles Brennan, the LSU quarterback, decided to give up playing football, the team revealed on Monday. Brennan, a sixth-year senior, was involved in a three-way summer competition for the starting position at center with Arizona State transfer Jayden Daniels and redshirt freshman Garrett Nussmeier.
“We are grateful to Myles for everything he has done for LSU football,” LSU coach Brian Kelly said in a statement. “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.”
Who is LSU QB Myles Brennan?
Brennan, who was raised in Mississippi and has relatives in New Orleans, waited until he was a fourth-year junior to be given the opportunity to start for the Tigers in 2020, replacing Joe Burrow, who had won the Heisman Trophy and guided the team to a national title the season before.
Why did Myles Brennan announce sudden retirement?
Brennan was a promising prospect in the class of 2017, but unfavorable events prevented him from ever being firmly established as the Tigers’ starter. The native of Mississippi served as Joe Burrow’s backup for two seasons and was set to take over as the regular starter in 2020, but he injured himself just three games into the year.
Brennan had another opportunity to win the starting role in 2021, but he injured his arm off the field and was forced to miss the entire year. “Over the last five years, I have given all of my body, heart and soul to LSU football,” Brennan said in a Twitter statement.
“Playing for LSU has been a dream come true. Wearing the purple and gold, running into Death Valley, winning a national championship, and starting at quarterback for the LSU Tigers — what more could a kid ask for? I will never forget the time I’ve spent and the memories I have made here.”
Who are Myles’ family, parents, wife?
Myles Brennan is the youngest son of Megan and Owen Brennan. Bo Brennan and Hunter Brennan are two older brothers of the recent retiree. Myles was born in Long Beach, Mississippi march 22, 1999, in an iconic family where almost everyone is involved in the restaurant business in New Orleans.
The reason behind their being so involved with the restaurant business is that Myles’ great-great-grandfather was the founder of the original French Brennan.
Myles’ father played as a linebacker at Tulan while his mother played basketball for the Green Wave. Speaking of his wife, Myles is not married and is yet to be married. Brennan has been in a relationship with Erin Hebert for a long time, and the couple happily shares their status on social media platforms.

As of right now, Myles Brennan’s net worth is between $1 and $5 million. Throughout his football career, the athlete has amassed a large number of prizes and fame.
