2027 Katy Tompkins four-star cornerback Blake Jenkins has announced his commitment to Michigan.
The four-star cornerback commits to the Wolverines over Vanderbilt, Texas, SMU and Houston among others.
The decision to commit to Michigan for Jenkins came down to playing high level Power Four football and new Wolverines head coach Kyle Whittingham.
"It's big time football in the Big 10," Jenkins said on what made him want to commit. "I feel like coach Whitt is building something special there and the foundation is set with the entire new staff there."
Michigan has history developing players to the NFL and that ability to be developed to the next level was another big factor in the Wolverines gaining Jenkins commitment.
"NFL potential is always there whenever you think of Michigan in general when you think of the defensive backs they've produced there over the past five to six years," he said. "That's one of the main reasons I committed and I know with coach Gilford there, they will have one of the best cornerback rooms in the country."
Jenkins makes his commitment ahead of his senior season which means a great deal to the Tompkins star as he can relieve some stress and focus on his last season in a Falcons uniform.
"It definitely relieves stress for sure knowing where home is going to be," Jenkins said. "I'm just ready to work this summer, getting bigger, getting stronger to be ready for my senior season and for playing in the 'Big House' after that."
With his commitment out of the way and a big senior season approaching, Jenkins and the Falcons are looking to have a big year next fall but the cornerback had one last message for Wolverine fans on his commitment.
"You got a hard worker and a dog for sure," he said. "I just can't wait to see the development of the program and to get the 2027 class moving."
