The look
Prep Hoops' Giacubeno note listed 4.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks. Jaydn Jenkins is the center attached to it. Ari Rosenfeld of Prep Hoops wrote of 3-plus blocks a game and a 9-rebound night, with Wood 12-1 in league play. Tom Keller of Prep Hoops called him the best rim protector in the state.
247Sports headlines cited a Pitt offer and a Michigan State final five. He is uncommitted. Read him against the class of 2027 rankings note. Jenkins is No. 39 because Archbishop Wood put 4.5 points, 4.5 rebounds on paper. I would wait on the next 2027 event.
What to watch
The rim-protection notes are consistent. The next grade is a double-figure scoring season, which Keller said was the junior-year target.
