Rush Through the Roster: #30 JaQuez Jenkins

#30 - JaQuez Jenkins - 6-2 189-pounds - RS Junior - DB - St. Petersburg, FL (Lakewood HS)

2011 stats:  Jenkins totaled 13 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and had 2 interceptions.  He dealt with a hamstring issue during the season that limited his playing time.

Position on the depth chart: Jenkins is listed as the starting strong safety coming out of the spring (Jon Lejiste, the normal starting strong safety, did not participate during the spring and left off of depth chart).

2012 projection: The key to Jenkins is staying healthy.  He has dealt with concussion symptoms during the spring and the hamstring has been an issue in the past.  When healthy, Jenkins is a skilled ballhawk, but has to be more consistent and simply stay on the field for more than a handful of games.  Look for him to have a solid season, pending his health.
