Jenkinson was put into the fray immediately. Now a sophomore, he will be building on an impressive freshman campaign in 2016.
From the very beginning of Bryce Jenkinson’s freshman season, it was clear he would be playing a major role for the Cincinnati Bearcats. The 6’1", 235-pound linebacker played in the first three games of the 2015 season before fixing himself a regular spot in the starting lineup. His first start against Memphis was a strong way to, well, start, as he recorded six solo tackles. After that, he was the linebacker leaned on most heavily outside of Eric Wilson and perhaps Kevin Brown.
