Jaylen Jenkins making noise early in WSU fall camp

One of the positions a bit up for grabs during Washington State’s fall camp has been running back, where the Cougs return just one player with game experience, which leaves plenty of opportunities for newcomers to make a positive impression.

One name that keeps coming up? True freshman Jaylen Jenkins.

Jenkins — a late commit right before signing day out of powerhouse Allen High School in Texas — has been mentioned in Spokesman-Review reporter Colton Clark’s practice reports more than any of the other backfield runners, probably because he’s been the most prone to ripping off highlight-reel runs so far.
