Virginia Tech’s do-it-all defender turned NFL grinder
In the 2024 season, Jenkins was a high-impact, versatile Hokie who finished with 65 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 1 interception, and 4 pass breakups, while earning an 80.0 run-defense grade and a 75.7 overall grade in 588 snaps. He stood out for his toughness, downhill run support, and rare ability to move between linebacker and defensive back responsibilities, which made him a matchup headache rather than a one-note stat collector. If your team wants a physical, instinctive, flexible defender with proven production and real special-teams/NFL-style utility, he’s a strong fit.
