During Keith Jennings’ four years at ETSU, the Bucs won the Southern Conference regular-season title twice and captured the league’s tournament crown three times in advancing to the NCAA tournament.

A two-time SoCon Player of the Year (1990, 1991), Jennings was named all-conference three times and garnered first-team honors as a junior and senior. He was a consensus All-American as a senior.

Jennings was named the Most Outstanding Player of the conference tournament twice and still owns the league record for career assists (793) and 3-point field-goal percentage (.493). His 793 assists rank fifth all-time in NCAA men’s basketball.

Jennings won the 1991 Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award, given to the nation’s top player under 6 feet tall. He played professionally for 13 years and was inducted into the ETSU Hall of Fame in 2013.

He currently serves as an assistant coach at Lees-McRae College.
