Jenkins has been well traveled throughout his collegiate career, with Purdue set to be his fourth school. He spent his first two seasons as a starter for South Dakota State, averaging 16.1 and 19.7 points per game respectively. He then started for UNLV in 2020-21, averaging 14.8 points per game, before spending the past season at Utah. Through four seasons he’s averaged 14.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 41.3% from three and just under 80% from the line.
The 6’1” guard chose the Boilermakers over Georgia, Clemson, BYU and a number of other schools that were trying to land the transfer. As a graduate transfer Jenkins will have one year of eligibility remaining and will help fill a massive void in the backcourt after the departures of Jaden Ivey, Eric Hunter and Isaiah Thompson.
