The interesting thing not said there is how much they have moved Jenkins around between left, right, tackle, and guard. I hope the move to LG sticks and lets him also really get comfortable and become a mainstay at one position

Dexter preferred Basketball to Football. Here’s an interesting article about how he was convinced to change sports and how it led to his scholarship at Florida.
Here’s a snippet from the article:
“On the first day of spring ball, after Dexter was hooked by the idea of how he looked in the Highlanders uniform, then-South Florida assistant coach Eric Mathies was at practice. Johnson was showing him a list of prospects at the school. The Highlanders typically have about four kids move on to college football each year.
“(Mathies) turns around and Gervon is in the corner,” Johnson said. “ ’Coach, who is that kid?’
“I said, ‘That’s a project right now, that’s Gervon Dexter.’ ”
Mathies walked over to Dexter and saw him go through a few drills and told Johnson he was going to offer him a scholarship that day. Three days later coaches from across the Southeast were flocking to Lake Wales. The word was out.
“Moving through his junior year, he’s played one season, helicopters were landing on our baseball field,” Johnson said. “You would have thought we had the Pope here with how much traffic we had with people coming through to see Gervon. He handled that all well. He walked with humility. I told him success is proportional to effort. You’ve got to figure this out.”
In a short time — ridiculously short considering some recruiting tales — Dexter emerged as a five-star recruit and eventually settled on Florida.
Then-Gators defensive line coach David Turner burst into laughter when asked if Dexter was still relatively raw by the time he set foot on campus in Gainesville.
“What would you think?” Turner shot back. “He was raw with a lot of athletic ability. There are a lot of things you can coach, but you can’t coach 6-foot-6, 280 pounds. From that standpoint, he had all of the tools. He was a natural and aggressive kid. The good thing about football, you don’t get five fouls. So he can rough them up a little bit and he doesn’t have to worry about fouling out.
“He wasn’t a whole lot different from (Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle) Chris Jones. I had him at Mississippi State. Chris didn’t play football until his junior year and thought he was a basketball player. ... Gervon is a kid that wanted to be coached. He’s a great kid. ‘Yes, sir. No, sir.’ I was excited to have a chance to work with him. The good thing about it, there were not a whole lot of bad habits he had to break. You just had to coach him up. He wanted to be great and it was a natural progression.”
