Jenkins was offered by Auburn on his visit on November 12th, which was the Texas A&M game. That excellent environment combined with the Tigers offering him seems to have made for a wonderful visit and no doubt helped to increase the Tigers' chances.

Jenkins has connections to other Auburn targets as he is the cousin and teammate of four-star EDGE target Rueben Bain. Bain and Jenkins are on the same team as Stanquan Clark, the four-star Linebacker, who is currently committed to the Louisville Cardinals. Lamar Seymore, a friend of current Tiger Camden Brown, and the star Wide Reciever for Miami Central is currently committed to Pitt. Brown was also committed to Pitt before signing with Auburn on early signing day.

Keyone joins the 2023 class as the 11th commitment and is the only QB committed to the Tigers in this recruiting cycle.
