Imhotep Charter’s football team was going through its practice drills late Monday afternoon when head coach Nick Lincoln abruptly blew his whistle and had his players huddle around him.
The reason?
Eagles safety and captain Malcolm Jenkins, who has become known for his push for his social justice and racial equality, was walking into the Lonnie Young Recreation Center.
Jenkins was in East Germantown to give a motivational speech to the players and, and in conjunction with Under Armour, celebrate the company’s contributions to the Public League program.
Under Armour had lined the field on Sunday.
