Keonta Jenkins
Safety
Jean Ribault High School, Jacksonville, FL
6-3, 180

247: 3-star, No. 95 safety nationally, No. 136 player in Florida
Rivals: 2-star
ESPN: 3-star, No. 56 safety, No. 138 player in Florida

Recent Jacksonville area players for the Hokies include Isaiah Ford, Chamarri Conner and Keshawn King.  Not every player from the area has been a success at Virginia Tech, but on the whole the Hokies have a pretty high success rate from players from the “904”.  The percentages bode well for 2020 signee Keonta Jenkins, a safety at Jean Ribault High School.  Jean Ribault has put a number of players in the NFL over the years, including former Florida State receiver Laveranues Coles.

(If you recall, it was Coles who was involved in the Dillard’s scandal along with Peter Warrick.  Coles was dismissed, and Warrick was not.  But it’s not like he shot the President.  I love it when a random Google search of a high school sends me down a rabbit hole.)
