Myles Brennan leans on a tried and true metaphor when he looks back on the long arc of his career at LSU. It has been a mountain he has had to climb, he says. Even before he set foot on campus, there were missteps. A blue-chip quarterback prospect, he originally committed when Les Miles was head coach. He had a great relationship with offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. But then Miles and Cameron were fired and he forged ahead anyway.
Brennan put his faith in LSU and coach Ed Orgeron, even as he struggled to learn a complicated system under new offensive coordinator Matt Canada, and even as his dreams of playing as a freshman were dashed when Danny Etling was named the starter.
