Five-Star Forward Jeremy Jenkins Gaining Major Interest From Baylor, Other Top Programs

Overtime Elite (GA) 2027 forward Jeremy Jenkins‍ has been hearing from Baylor in recent weeks, per League Ready. Jenkins is also garnering interest from Kentucky, Indiana, Oklahoma, Gonzaga, Florida State, LSU and Washington.

Jenkins is currently ranked as the No. 25 overall composite prospect in the nation and a five-star recruit, according to 247 Sports. He was rated as the No. 5 power forward in the 2027 recruiting class.

The 6-foot-9, 245-pound prospect is averaging 18.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game this season. Prior to this year, he was at Riviera Prep, where he helped lead the program to back-to-back state championships.

On3’s Jamie Shaw gave a scouting report on Jenkins from Overtime Elite’s Pro Day back in September, saying, “Jenkins is a unique player, and sometimes, it takes a little bit of time to adjust your scouting lens to be able to adequately wrap your arms around the full nuance of his game.”

He later continued, “Jenkins has an obvious physical frame with intriguing size, length, and strength. However, watching him play, the competitive nature is hard to ignore, along with his skill and processing. At Pro Day, Jenkins measured 6-foot-9 (in shoes) and 203.5 pounds with a 6-foot-11.5 wingspan. He averaged 12.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 2.4 STOCKS this summer with the Nightrydas program on Nike’s E16 Circuit this summer. He will need to continue streaming his offensive output to find more consistency, but he is an intriguing player when used as an offensive hub at multiple levels.”
