SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) -- It was never a question of if, but a question of when.
Rashad Rochelle announced via Twitter that he will be playing D-1 football for Rutgers University.
A big reason why is head coach Greg Schiano and the love his staff showed Rochelle and his family.
Rochelle will switch positions when playing for the Scarlet Knights. Fans in central Illinois know him at the quarterback position, with Rutgers, he'll be playing wide receiver.
"It's a huge sigh of relief," Rochelle says. "I know where I'm going to play college football at so now I can focus on trying to win a state championship with my team and focusing on my grades."
