Player Summary:
A returning 2-time all-conference senior and 2-year starter for Tulane, Patrick Jenkins is a key player on the Tulane defensive unit. He has the potential that will make him an interesting prospect for NFL scouts. However, his strength is something that will have to be developed and improved in the 2024 season. When going against stronger offensive linemen he tends to get moved off the ball (was moved off the ball a lot against Ole Miss). He worked more hands against North Texas but as the games go on his get-off is much slower and he will resort to power. He displays a high motor when chasing down the ball(ECU). Overall Patrick has the potential to develop into a valuable prospect for the 2025 NFL draft with a good 2024 season.
Player Strengths:
