As a fifth string running back, he did n't play in a game until the last game of his junior year. As a self - described `` 270 lb. chubby kid with asthma and glasses '', Jennings finally played after the first four running backs ahead of him on the depth chart went down with injuries. Even before putting in Jennings, his coach attempted to play a wide receiver at running back. On his first handoff he ran the ball in for a 30 - yard touchdown. After a 40 - yard rushing touchdown and scoring 2 more touchdowns on defense, Jennings was approached by a scout from the University of Tennessee who had come to see the starting running back. After inquiring about his grades and discovering Jennings had a 0.6 GPA, the scout said `` Son, you have potential... Get your grades right ! '' After the encouragement, Rashad transferred to Lynchburg Christian Academy. His older brothers offered to coach the football team since Rashad could not afford the tuition. At LCA, he would begin to shed some weight and take to learning after having to repeat his junior year. In his junior and senior year, he was a two - time All - VISAA Division II selection while totaling 3,287 yards and 56 touchdowns, including 1,978 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns as a senior, while also lettering twice in basketball.

Though Jennings was suspended for the first two games of the 2007 season due to an internal violation, he set a Big South Conference record with 3,633 yards, 42 touchdowns, and averaged 5.7 yards per carry.
