Playing an interior defensive lineman position in the Chargers’ 4-3 front, Jenkins enlists exceptional pad level, blow delivery and separation skills to demand double team blocking schemes whether aligning head-up on the offensive guard or shading to either shoulder. In his team’s recent 13-0 win over Central, he was exceptionally active, finishing the game with 6 solo tackles, 4 assists, 2 tackles for loss and 1 sack and leading his defensive unit to their second consecutive shutout. A returning starter, Jenkins finished with 33 total tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss in the Chargers’ 15-game run to the state title last season, and with 18 total tackles, 2 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks in their 4-1 start this year, he currently is on pace to surpass that production as a senior.
