The North Carolina Tar Heels and new head coach Bill Belichick are reportedly showing interest in a Tennessee Vols player that recently entered the NCAA transfer portal.
According to On3, Vols transfer defensive lineman Jayson Jenkins has a visit lined up to North Carolina.
Florida State and Texas Tech are also in the mix for Jenkins.
Jenkins is a former three-star recruit from Lawrenceville, NJ who signed with Tennessee during the 2022 recruiting cycle.
In three seasons with the Vols, Jenkins totaled 20 tackles, five tackles for loss, and two sacks. He was praised ahead of the 2024 season by Tennessee defensive line coach Rodney Garner for his "blue-collar" mentality.
"Jayson is a blue-collar guy," said Garner last March. "He comes to work everyday with his lunch box. He puts in the work. You have seen that guy grow in leaps and bounds. He has truly taken steps where he can have a role on this defense. He has the respect of his peers because no one has given him anything. He has had to work for every little thing he has gotten. It's just like spring break. I am coming off knee surgery, so I had to come back and rehab. He didn't go anywhere. I am going in the training room, and he is out there everyday working out, working on his get off, working on bags, just putting in the work. He is just a blue-collar guy that wants to be a part of it. He is prideful about it. He loves this place. He wants to be here. I am sure he could leave and go somewhere. We are happy that he is staying, and we are excited about his expanded role that we expect from him this year."
