4-star CB Blake Jenkins commits to Michigan Wolverines

Cornerback Blake Jenkins only got his offer from the Michigan Wolverines this past spring.

He took a visit to Ann Arbor to check things out, and the Wolverines followed that up with a visit to Katy, Texas, to recruit him. Two visits, in fact.

Those visits were from cornerbacks coach Jernaro Gilford and general manager Dave Peloquin, who clearly wanted the Texas product in the fold.

"Yes, they did (come to see me)," Jenkins told 247Sports in May. "Coach JG and the GM (Dave Peloquin) came by and stopped two different times. They were telling me Michigan plays both roles well, being a great elite football program and being a great school academically."

The end result was a commitment from Jenkins, a 4-star corner who is ranked as the No. 30 player at his position, according to 247Sports.

The decision was made public on Thursday.

The Alabama Crimson Tide, Texas Longhorns, SMU Mustangs and Vanderbilt Commodores were also in the running.

4-star Blake Jenkins has CB1 potential for Michigan Wolverines 

A rising senior at Katy Tompkins High School, Jenkins finished his junior season with 26 tackles and two interceptions.

The scouting report on him is that he has the size and athleticism to be a CB1 at the college level, where he can lock receivers down on the boundaries.

"P4-caliber corner prospect who owns the potential to become an island technician," is the line from 247Sports that really stands out about Jenkins.

He's Michigan's 16th 2027 commitment and the Wolverines are rolling on the recruiting trail. Over 10 of those commitments came in the month of May.
