From Jenkins’s Head Coach Loren Johnson:  “Noah offers the size, speed and pedigree to become a starter early in his college career. He is usually where he needs to be on the field and helps his defense or offense move on to the next play. He's athletic enough for man coverage and is field-aware as a split safety. Noah has the physical and mental makeup to upgrade multiple positions on defense.”
