Belmont’s old-school wing who brought size, hustle, and timely scoring
In the 2012-13 season, Blake Jenkins flashed as a high-motor forward for Belmont, posting 17 points and 11 rebounds in one standout game and giving the Bruins interior scoring, physicality, and energy beyond the box score. He was praised for his hustle, defense, rebounding, and momentum-changing plays, and one contemporaneous analysis called him an X-factor whose impact showed up in Belmont’s efficiency and wins. If a team needs a versatile, hard-nosed forward who competes every possession and can swing a game with effort plays, Jenkins fits the bill.
