VMI OL James Jenkins: steady, under-the-radar trench piece with room to grow
James Jenkins is a returning VMI offensive lineman listed at 6-foot-1, 275 pounds in the 2025 roster data, with earlier VMI listings showing him as a redshirt freshman in 2024 and a freshman in 2025.[1][3][4] He doesn’t have public stat-sheet noise, but that’s normal for an interior line player; the better read is that he’s already earned roster continuity and size development, which usually signals trust in the program’s depth chart.[1][3] If your team wants a tough, developmental OL who can add leverage, weight, and consistency, Jenkins looks like a plausible fit rather than a flashy one.[1][3]
