Baylor’s Lockdown CB with Freshman All-American Pedigree and Big-Play Instincts
Caden Jenkins is a 6'1" lockdown cornerback for Baylor who entered 2024 as one of Texas’ premier cover men after a stellar freshman season: 37 tackles, 3 INTs, 2 FRs (including a 72-yard TD return), Defensive Freshman of the Year (Dave Campbell’s), and Second-Team Freshman All-American (The Athletic) [1][2]. His 74.9 defensive grade ranked as Baylor’s second-highest on the unit [2]. Jenkins differentiates with elite press coverage, explosive first-step intensity, and a fearless, big-play mentality—he’s the type of CB who shuts down outside routes and turns turnovers into points. No reported injury history; his intensity and leadership were highlighted in spring camp media [9]. For teams needing a true number-one corner with NFL-ready size and confidence, Jenkins is an ideal fit.
