I have a member who has paid for a new membership and asked it to start when his current membership expires. At the moment, both read as "Current." If I use "Status Override" until a select date and change his status to pending, will that "pending" automatically change to "current" on that selected date?

Ideally you should set up your membership status rules and live by them, and not use "status override" :-) Documentation on the membership status rules can be found here: https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/membership/defining-memberships/#membership-status-rules
This is very likely to happen, but it depends on your membership status rules, as Erik notes. It sounds like you'd like to change the start date, not the status.
Remember that membership status works by finding the first status (reading from top to bottom) where the current date is between the two dates defined as the Start and End Events. You can find the rules at Administer menu » CiviMember » Membership Status Rules.
