About Jaheem
Expert Analysis
Will Helms | Prep Redzone Scout
Jenkins is a compact runner with plenty of strength to run through would-be tacklers. After only earning a handful of touches as a sophomore, he broke out as a junior, with nearly 1,700 yards on 267 carries. He was the focal point of the Hickory offense, and teams still struggled to stop him. His vision and burst helped him avoid negative plays and turn short runs into chunk plays.

Read EvaluationMatt Morrow | Prep Redzone Scout
Jaheem was one of the most productive backs in the state this past season, and he did it without a ton of fanfare for a strong program in Hickory. Jaheem had 1695 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns in helping lead the Red Tornadoes to the regional final in the playoffs. Jaheem has a strong frame and a nice mix of speed and power with the football in his hands. I couldn’t find any recruiting interest for him, which I’m a little surprised by, given his level of production and ability. I’d love to see him in some camp settings this spring and summer up close.
