Josh Jenkins Stays Home!!!

Its about time West Virginia got some good news. Highly rated offesnive lineman from Vienna, WV Josh Jenkins has signed his letter of intent to play ball for the Mountaineers.

This thick o-line prospect plays tackle for his high school team but is likely to be offensive guard in college. He lacks the height and quickness to play tackle on the next level. He does have a nice, bulky frame with the ability to add some size. With some added power from a college weight program, Jenkins could develop into a very strong run blocker. He already shows great push up the middle on inside run plays.

He is comfortable in pull-blocking schemes, which again indicates a move to guard. He has a strong burst and great initial contact. It would be nice to see him maintain consistency throughout the entire play; after the burst he can at times lose focus.

All in all, he is a solid overall player. He shows a nice grasp of the overall skills needed to play on the offensive line. If he develops a killer instinct, he could turn into an all-conference type player.

Jenkins is the gem of this WVU class.
