Against Roanoke Rapids, Jenkins caught five passes for 103 yards and a touchdown, an average of 20 yards per catch.
As a young varsity player, Jenkins has honed his receiving skills on the 7-on-7 circuit. He is a good route runner and can “sell it” to create separation and make plays in space.
Jenkins has learned and developed leadership skills from the veterans on the team.
Jenkins is a North Carolina legacy, as his mom and uncle are Tar Heel alums. Jenkins’s grandfather taught at UNC for 45 years. His dad graduated from Appalachian State.
While he has an interest in those schools, Jenkins is also open to all other schools for recruitment talks.
Jenkins’s game film shows crisp routes and good ball skills, especially in traffic. He should pop up on coaches’ radar in the coming months.
In the fall, Jenkins will showcase his football skills as a member of Southlake Christian Academy.
