High school career
Jennings started his high school years at Jefferson Forest High School in his hometown, Forest, Virginia. He didn't play in a game until his junior year, which was his fifth string back. "270 lb. lb" is a self-described term used to describe a self-described "270 lb. After the first four running backs behind him on the depth chart fell sick and after his coach tried to play a wide receiver at running back, Jennings finally played. On his first handoff, he ran the ball in for a 30-yard touchdown. Jennings was approached by a University of Tennessee scout who wanted to see him running back after a 40-yard touchdown and two more on defense. After enquiry into his grades and discovering that Jennings had a 0.6 GPA, the scout replied, "You have talent... Get your grades right."
Rashad attended Lynchburg Christian Academy after being encouraged. The year before, his older brothers began teaching at the academy. Since Rashad was unable to afford tuition, both brothers used their coaching stipends to help pay the tuition. Since having to repeat his junior year, he will start to shed some weight and get to learning at LCA. He was a two-time All-VISAA Division II pick in his junior and senior seasons, totaling 3,287 yards and 56 touchdowns, including 1,978 rushing yards and 33 touchdowns as a senior, as well as lettering twice in basketball.
