Due to his incredible power in the weight room, Kris Jenkins, the son of the three-time All-Pro of the same name, is known as “The Mutant” in Schembechler Hall. NFL scouts are envious of Jenkins because he possesses the uncommon blend of size, speed, power, and discipline, ranking No. 6 on Bruce Feldman’s yearly “Freaks List.”
Jenkins leads a seasoned front seven that features linebacker Junior Colson, who is projected to be the team’s top tackler in 2022, and a number of seasoned edge rushers who are still vying for the starting spots left by Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo. Jenkins’s presence on the inside could help the Wolverines surpass their 67th national tackles for loss ranking from the previous season as he continues to develop into his senior year.
Two transfers, in Kris Jenkins’ opinion, might be unsung heroes for the Michigan football team this autumn.
When asked at Big Ten Media Days to pick an Indiana transfer called AJ Barner and Stanford transfer Drake Nugent as the Wolverines’ breakout players, the defensive tackle gave his picks.
I could continue over the list, but I want to introduce you all to a guy who, in my opinion, has received less attention than he deserves. I’ll give you two offensive options: I think AJ Barner and Drake Nugent will be a fantastic combination,” Jenkins remarked. Since the moment they arrived, they have only been devoted to their work, diligent workers, and role models.
“I believe Ernest will undoubtedly surprise a few people since he truly possesses the same mindset that he has been emphasising,” Jenkins remarked. “Just getting better, that’s all.”
During the 2023 offseason, the Wolverines added nine transfers, three of whom came from other Big Ten schools. Positive remarks on the Transfer Portal and its ability to let athletes “choose what was best for them and best for their families” were made by Harbaugh on Thursday.
