Ross Jenkins enters his first season as the wide receivers coach at Murray State.
Jenkins inherits a group of receivers that returns six of its eight top pass catchers from a season ago, and is believed to be one of the deepest corps of receivers in the FCS.
Jenkins comes to MSU after spending the 2011 season as the inside receivers coach at Eastern New Mexico.
In his one season with the Greyhounds, Jenkins mentored Darian Dale to Second-Team All-Lone Star Conference honors. Dale finished the season with 84 catches for 798 and six touchdowns. He ranked fifth in the country by averaging 7.6 receptions per game.
Prior to his time in the coaching ranks, Jenkins was a standout quarterback at Louisiana Tech. He ended his four-year career by going 438-for-743 for 5,036 and 36 touchdowns. He ranks sixth on the Bulldogs all-time list for completions, while ranking seventh in passing yards and touchdowns.
Jenkins started eight games during his senior campaign and was honored as the Terry Bradshaw Offensive Player of the Year. He finished the year by throwing for 1,760 yards and 12 touchdowns, while also rushing for 108 yards and four scores.
He earned WAC Offensive Player of the Week honors after going 31-for-44 for 422 yards and three touchdowns in a victory over Idaho. Jenkins threw a trio of touchdown passes and hauled in a 43-yard reception of his own in a game against Fresno State.
Jenkins enjoyed his best statistical season as a junior as he threw for 2,095 yards and 17 touchdowns on the season. He had his best game of the season against Nicholls State as he threw for 357 yards and a pair of scores in the victory.
He played just over a half against Idaho, but still managed to throw for 220 yards and three touchdowns. Jenkins rallied the Bulldogs to within two points of No. 5 Boise State in the fourth quarter by throwing for 114 yards and a touchdown. His lone touchdown pass ended up being the top play that evening on the Sportscenter Top 10.
Jenkins saw his first significant action during his sophomore season as he started the final eight games, leading the Bulldogs to a 6-2 record and a 17-10 Independence Bowl victory over Nothern Illinois.
Jenkins went to La Tech after a standout career at Langham Creek High School in Texas. He started three years at quarterback for the Lobos, and was named the District 17-5A Offensive Player of the Year his final season.
He also earned honorable mention all-state honors his senior season after going 205-for-297 for 2,605 yards and 25 touchdowns. His 69 percent completion percentage ranked among the top in the state.
Jenkins was also a three-year letterwinner on the golf team.
Jenkins graduated from La Tech in 2010 with a degree in economics
