During his collegiate playing career (2004-2007), Jenkins was a versatile pitcher used in a variety of situations. As a captain and academic All-American his senior year, Jenkins helped lead Franklin Pierce University to the Division II College World Series for the second consecutive year by accumulating a 6-1 record and one save with a 1.88 ERA in 22 appearances. Among the all-time leaders in both single season and career appearances, Jenkins brings not only experience, but a strategic mind-set to the Panther pitching staff.

After playing at and attending Franklin Pierce University, Jenkins played professionally for a short stint in the Frontier League with the Kalamazoo Kings in Kalamazoo, MI.  In addition to his Bachelor’s degree in Finance/Management from Franklin Pierce, Jenkins earned his Master’s degree in Global Business and Project Management from Southern New Hampshire University in 2012.
