Recruited from: Essendon rookie list
Brownlow Votes: -

Recruited from Essendon during the 2011 trade period, Jenkins provided plenty of excitement in his first year in Crows colours. The athletic and competitive former basketballer played 11 games, switching between the ruck and attack. He also kicked 11 goals, including a brilliant running goal against Carlton at Etihad Stadium in Round Eight.

Season by Season

Season by Season

The Crows identified Jenkins as a trade-week priority after losing ruckman Ivan Maric to Richmond, as well as key-position players Jack Gunston (Hawthorn), Phil Davis (Greater Western Sydney) and Scott Stevens (retired). A deal was reached in the dying minutes of the AFL exchange period, with Adelaide agreeing to send pick No.31 to Essendon in exchange for the untried rookie. The 197cm basketball convert had a strong 2011 season playing in the ruck with Essendon’s VFL affiliate, Bendigo and also has the capacity to play in attack or defence.
