Kalan Jenkins was Georgia State’s position-shifting interior anchor in its startup era
In the 2011 season, Kalan Jenkins was a rare Georgia State defensive chess piece: a 6-foot-5, 270-pound senior who had already played tight end, defensive end, defensive tackle, and noseguard, showing real versatility and coachable toughness. He finished his Georgia State career with 48 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss and a sack, and was repeatedly described by the program as an outstanding student. If you value an adaptable, high-effort interior defender who can survive role changes and bring leadership, Jenkins fits the profile.
