Looks like Rashad Jennings is definitely transferring.

Freshman tailback Rashad Jennings has decided to quit the Pitt football team and will transfer to another school closer to his home in Virginia.

Jennings will call Panthers coach Dave Wannstedt either today or tomorrow and officially ask to be released from his scholarship.

“I’ve got to have my final talk with Wannstedt and then that will be it,” Jennings said Monday.

Wannstedt is out of town and was unavailable for comment. A team spokesman said Wannstedt will make a statement on the status of Jennings and wideout Greg Lee later this week, after the coach returns to Pittsburgh and holds a team meeting.

Jennings said yesterday that he is still in the process of choosing which school to attend this fall. He listed Liberty, James Madison, Virginia and Virginia Tech among the possibilities.

“The decision now is where I’m going next,” he said. “A lot of schools from around the country have contacted me, but I’m not going anywhere besides a Virginia school. I’ll decide in a day or two.”

I’m glad I don’t have to make this decision. Jennings or Wannstedt’s. Jennings is doing the right thing for his family and himself by going closer to home. He will want to play on a good team, as much for his future and potential in the NFL. That would make UVA or VT the most likely.

Coach Wannstedt probably would like to make an exception and release Jennings from his scholarship in this case. I’m not sure, however, that Coach Wannstedt would be eager to let Jennings go right to UVA, with Pitt having a 2 game series with them starting this fall. There are competitve concerns.

Hopefully things will be worked out.
