Levenberry, who was the 110th-best recruit in the country in the 2013 class, is heading to UConn after transferring out of Florida State in January. Levenberry registered 60 tackles in two seasons with the Seminoles and has been taking classes at a community college near his hometown in Virginia before he enrolls at UConn in June. He decided to transfer from FSU after his playing time dwindled in 2014.
Levenberry told InsideNova.com that his familiarity with many of the coaches, including head coach Bob Diaco, made it a good fit. Diaco recruited Levenberry when he was the defensive coordinator at Notre Dame.
“I felt it was the best place to develop me,” Levenberry said. “They showed me so much love. Everything seemed so perfect. It felt like the best fit.”
Levenberry said plans file an appeal with the NCAA to see if he can play immediately. If that doesn’t go through, he’ll take a mandatory redshirt year.
Jennings, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound wide receiver, will head east and transfer to Temple after playing his freshman season at Pitt. Jennings, a native of Sicklerville, N.J., told the Philadelphia Inquirer that he wanted to play closer to home due to a “family situation” and chose Temple over Rutgers.
“I really feel that Temple is the right fit,” Jennings said. “I feel I can make an impact.”
Because he transferred due to a family situation, Jennings said he’ll apply to the NCAA in efforts to play immediately instead of having to sit out a year.
Jennings, who was the eighth-best player in New Jersey in the 2014 class, appeared in six games and had six catches for 55 yards in his lone season at Pitt.
