Chance Jenkins brings compact power and upside to Southern Miss backfield
As a 2026 freshman RB at Southern Miss, Chance Jenkins profiles as a low-center-of-gravity runner at 5-9, 190 with a productive high school résumé — 1,002 rushing yards and 13 TDs in one season at Bozeman — and a background that hints at competitive toughness, including a gold medal in school weightlifting. He looks like a fit if you want a physical, built-to-earn-it runner with special-teams potential and room to grow, though there isn’t yet meaningful college stat production to judge his current on-field impact.
