Luke Jenkins enters his first season with the Rhode Island football team and will work primarily with the running backs as an assistant coach.
Jenkins made the move to Kingston following a pair of Ivy League stints with Cornell (2023-24) and Harvard (2022).Â
During his time in Ithaca, he served as an Offensive Analyst/Assistant Quarterbacks Coach and played a big role in the team's film breakdown analysis. Jenkins assisted with leading quarterback positional meetings and facilitated on-field drills. He also helped to manage the day-to-day operations of the offensive unit and presented weekly scouting reports.
Jenkins joined the Big Red in July of 2023 following a season with Harvard, serving three different roles as the team's Offensive Quality Control Coordinator, Assistant Quarterbacks Coach, and Assistant Run Game Coordinator. Prior to that, he served as an Offensive Student Coach with the University of Cincinnati during a stretch where the Bearcats won two conference titles and earned a bid to the College Football Playoff.
A 2021 graduate of Cincinnati, Jenkins has a business administration degree from the Carl H. Linder College of Business. He majored in marketing with a minor in sports administration and was a dean's list student.Â
