Tenuta's presence will probably help, since his reputation for running a fast paced, attack defense is well known. But Corwin Brown and the other staff members have established themselves as hard working recruiters. but, as many coaches that are necessary should be involved to land just about any recruit.

What do Jonathan Evans, Eltoro Freeman and Harris Gaston have in common? First, they’re all 2009 high school football prospects. Second, they all play linebacker. Last, they’ve all verbally committed to play for the Auburn Tigers next season in what is shaping up to be a stellar recruiting class for Tommy Tuberville and the gang.

You might think that with all of these linebackers already verbally committed, it might be hard to get another 2009 LB to give the Tigers the nod. But the Tigers, knowing how much a defense needs athletes, aren’t stopping here. In fact, they’ve got one of the best in the country still in their sights.

That's Jelani Jenkins, a 6-foot, 203-pound OLB from Our Lady of Good Counsel in Wheaton, Md. Jenkins, a five-star prospect with 4.45 speed, put up 60 total tackles, four sacks, and an interception to accompany 700 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns last season in high school.

In other words, he’s been productive. Moreover, he’s highly intelligent; his 4.0 grade-point average attests to that.

Thus, it’s no surprise that Rivals currently considers Jenkins the best 2009 outside linebacker prospect in the country. He’s also the 10th-ranked prospect in the nation.

He seems to be the real deal.

Right now, the list of potential suitors for Jenkins’ services is enormous and includes Florida and Tennessee from the SEC. That said, the Auburn defense has been very good over the years, and that has to be alluring to potential prospects. Beyond that, Auburn’s coaches have historically given their guys playing time when they showed they could produce (Antonio Coleman) even when there were other strong performers at their position (Quentin Groves).

So don’t be surprised if Jenkins ends up a Tiger. An Auburn Tiger, that is.

If education and graduation mean anything to him, Auburn is the last place he'd end up.

It appears Jenkins is on a west coast, unofficial tour of campuses right now. Word is he visited UCLA last saturday, and was at USC sometime this week.

not good news.

**Ultimate Penn St. Hater** · 06-12-2008, 05:50 PM

Does he have any plans to visit ND?

**SoCalDomer** · 06-12-2008, 06:00 PM

Lew, calm down.

I don't know if he presently has a scheduled visit ND. But from everything I read, he always had plans to visit just about every school that has shown some interest. He is hitting the west coast, the south, Ohio, he's already been to PSU and Virginia, and I believe he said he would hit many states in between.

I believe he will also take all 5 official visits after his football season, after he narrows down his list.
