Jenkins plays for Laurel High School in Laurel, Miss., where he made 43 catches for 664 yards, 15.4 yards per reception, and nine touchdowns as a junior in 2024.

He has great speed right off the snap and uses it to go past defensive backs for long touchdowns. He also is a sensational route runner and isn't afraid of making tough, contested catches, using his 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame against smaller opponents.
