College career

Jenkins started 28 games for the University of Michigan from 1992-1994. Jenkins is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek letter fraternity established for African Americans. He was regarded by experts for his large size for an offensive tackle.

Professional career

In 2000, Jenkins was drafted 156th overall by the San Francisco Demons of the XFL but failed to make the team.

Harold's Chicken Shack

In 1999, Jenkins and his wife, Dora, opened a franchise of Chicago's Harold's Chicken Shack in Ferndale, Michigan on 8 Mile Road, made famous by Detroit rapper Eminem.
