He was named to the position on April 17, 2018 after serving as interim head coach for the previous four months. Last spring, Jenkins oversaw arguably the program’s best season as a Division I member. The Skyhawks tied for their most victories in the Division I Era (since 1993) and not only advanced to the Ohio Valley Conference Championship tournament for just the fourth time in school history, but also won their opening round game - marking the second postseason win since joining the Division I ranks. UT Martin shattered school records in OVC wins (12), games played (56), fielding percentage (.969), putouts (1,441), saves (17), innings pitched (480.1) and pitching strikeouts (431) in 2019. The Skyhawk offense crushed 48 home runs (third-most in school history) and also pitched to the school’s lowest single-season ERA since 2006, leading the OVC with five shutouts. Jenkins coached a pair of 2019 All-OVC second team selections in Jordan Stoner and Nick Wohlbold. Stoner became the first Skyhawk to ever take home back-to-back All-OVC accolades and just the second player in UT Martin history to win two All-OVC selections in a career. Wohlbold ranked 11th nationally with 13 saves and was just the third UT Martin pitcher to ever earn an All-OVC nod (first since 2010). In his first year at UT Martin, Jenkins helped mold a trio of All-OVC honorees in Stoner (first team), Blake Davis (All-Newcomer) and Ethan Whitley (All-Newcomer). He led the squad to victories over No. 13 ranked Southern Miss and against Tennessee Tech (who finished ranked No. 11 nationally after winning 53 games and advancing to a NCAA Super Regional). Whitley would also go on to be named a Collegiate Baseball Newspaper Freshman All-American in 2018. He was one of only nine first basemen in the nation to collect the prestigious award while he became just the fifth Skyhawk to collect Freshman All-American status. Jenkins joined the UT Martin staff in July after spending the 2017 season at the College of Charleston, where he served as an assistant under head coach Matt Heath working
