Q & A with Milton Jennings!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Clemson chapter.

HC Clemson: Why did you choose to come to Clemson?
Milton Jennings: I made my decision based on the fact that every time I visited I felt at home, of course basketball was a huge reason too. There are also around 60 kids from my high school attending Clemson, which made me feel more at home.

What has been your most memorable moment at Clemson so far?
I have many memorable moments, some with teammates on basketball trips, with my friends hiking around the botans, and just the town of Clemson in general. 

What has been your most embarrassing moment at Clemson so far?
My most embarrassing moment was last year. I was walking, while texting and ran smack into a tree branch. Thankfully, no one was around to see it!

Have you had any favorite classes?
It’s hard to say because I have enjoyed almost all my classes.

What’s something that people might not know about you?
Most people until they meet me don’t understand that I would rather be considered “normal” (not an athlete), and instead of talking about basketball, I would rather never talk about it. I like to stay grounded and not singled out to be better than people around me..

What is your ideal date?
I enjoy most of everything, such as, the lake, the movies, bowling, out to dinner, etc. I most likely would allow my date to pick and choose where they would like to go. 

Do you have any pet peeves about girls/Clemson girls?
I dislike the girls who make the athlete comment before meeting or even talking to me, but I understand why they say it. Other than that, I found that most girls are funny and way better than me on scramble with friends. 

Favorites: movie, TV show, food
My favorite movies are any with Will Ferrell, such as Step-Brothers, Anchorman, Old School, Semi-Pro, etc. Tosh.O, Boardwalk, and Family Guy are the only shows I really watch. 

What is your favorite thing to do at Clemson besides playing basketball?
My favorite thing to do besides basketball is Wake Boarding. I enjoy being out on the lake, and it is something that my friends can beat me at with ease which keeps me motivated to get better. 

Who is your idol?
Tim Duncan is my idol. He is an overall outstanding guy who I can say gets along with everyone and is well respected.
