Jenkins was rated by most draft services as the top rated center in the 2019 class. A former two star recruit, he started at every position on the offensive line during his time in Starkville, before finally settling in at center in his junior year. He will join another former Bulldog, defensive end Preston Smith, who signed with the Packers earlier this year as a free agent.
