Despite being in the middle of an unexpected recruiting dead period, Baylor added to their 2021 recruiting class on Saturday afternoon with the addition of Lindale (TX) High School running back Jordan Jenkins‍ (6-1, 202).

Jenkins committed to Baylor over offers from Texas Tech, BYU, Tennessee, Southern Cal and Vanderbilt.

As a sophomore in the spring of 2019, Jenkins posted a 4.68 second 40-yard dash, a 4.38 second shuttle and a 34-inch vertical at The Opening Regionals. 

Jenkins was in attendance at a Baylor camp under Matt Rhule’s staff last summer and was in attendance at Baylor’s junior day earlier this spring under new head coach Dave Aranda. 

As a junior at Lindale, Jenkins rushed for 1,422 yards and 27 touchdowns on 219 carries. That performance came a season after rushing for 1,504 yards and 17 touchdowns on 273 carries as a sophomore.

Jenkins was named 5A second team all-state selection by the Texas AP in 2019 and was a unanimous first-team all-district selection as a sophomore in 2018.

So if he is a four star prospect, why do we list him with only three stars in the commits tab Under recruiting tab off main directory?

He is a 4 star on 247 and 3 best RB in TX to them, other sites may have graded him slightly less or hadn't change to grade him.

Doesn't have next level speed, but what he does have is size and good hands. He's would be a load to tackle in college right now. Here is your possible every down back, especially in short yardage situations.

Maybe more of a Terrance Williams style, in his prime.

I'm excited to get another running back from East Texas, and hopes he succeeds like Jamical Hasty.

My issue is with Colt for stating in his heading that we got a four star player, and then list him as three stars in the summary of commitments for 2021. Either he is, or he isn't. Colt doesn't need to stoke the fires of excitement with wet firewood.
