Rashad Jennings was born on March 26, 1985 in Forest, Virginia. He started playing football at Jefferson Forest High School and was an unlikely candidate for playing football because he had a low GPA and was a “270 lb chubby kid with asthma and glasses.” Jennings got his chance to shine when his team was down some players due to injuries and he ran a 30-yard touchdown. When he repeated and bettered this feat in subsequent games, a scout from the University of Tennessee noticed him and offered him some advice saying, “Son, you have potential…Get your grades right!”
