PROVO — Former BYU swimmer Preston Jenkins earned the NCAA postgraduate scholarship for his accredited graduate program in medicine at the University of Florida.
“I’ve been more than blessed during my time at BYU to be surrounded by amazing people,” Jenkins said. “It's because of my teammates, coaches, professors, advisers and administrators that I had so many opportunities to give back to the community and grow myself as an athlete, student and leader.”
Jenkins was awarded the scholarship for his academic and athletic achievement, as well as his community involvement and leadership. He was named team captain his senior year and received the Outstanding Senior Male Athlete Award and the Floyd Johnson Service Award at the 2018 Y Awards.
