But his wealth could see an increase now that he is competing on Dancing with the Stars! Since he made his dancing debut, many are interested in learning more about Rashad Jennings’ salary. How rich is Rashad Jennings from Dancing with the Stars? We’ve got all the details for you below!

Monday’s episode of Dancing with the Stars was an emotional one. Rashad Jennings and his partner, Emma Slater, did a contemporary dance to Katy Perry’s “Unconditionally,” which was dedicated to his father. During rehearsals, Rashad opened up about his father and emotions began to boil over. He said, “My dad was closed off when I was younger. Any time you would try to get closer to him, he would turn to alcohol.” Rashad further added, “His idea of love was to provide financially. He provided, and faded away.”

Rashad even had a full scholarship to college and was considered by the NFL Scouts. But he received a call from his family saying that his father had a stroke, and his leg had to be amputated because of complications with his diabetes. Rashad decided put his dreams on hold and went back to be with his family during this difficult time. His performance with Emma on DWTS was truly mesmerizing and each of the judges were impressed and touched by it.

Rashad is a perfect example of being versatile. Even though he is a football player, he is also a very talented dancer. If he wins the Mirrorball Trophy, there will definitely be an increase in his current net worth.

Due to the encouragement, he and his brothers thought it would be an excellent idea for Rashad to transfer to Lynchburg Christian Academy. During his time at the University of Pittsburgh, Rashad played football at Liberty.
