Michigan football: 3-star DE Kris Jenkins commits to U-M

The son of a former NFL standout will look to make a name for himself at Michigan.

Kris Jenkins, a 3-star defensive lineman from Maryland, announced his decision to commit to Michigan's 2020 class on Wednesday.

Jenkins' father, also named Kris, was a four-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle (and an Ypsilanti native) who played with the Carolina Panthers and New York Jets. Jenkins' uncle, Cullen Jenkins, played defensive end for four NFL teams from 2003-16.
