Jenkins was dismissed from the team following several problems throughout his Miami Hurricanes career. He was suspended for the Hurricanes 2015 Sun Bowl loss to Washington State and for last season’s win at Virginia.
Jenkins will join Miami’s former Defensive Coordinator Mark D’Onofrio with the Cougars. D’Onofrio is currently the DC and Linebackers coach for Houston.
The Cougars went through a coaching change in the offseason. Tom Herman left for the University of Texas. He was replaced by last season’s offensive coordinator and former Longhorns Quarterback Major Applewhite.
Jenkins will have to sit out the 2017 season as a transfer.
