South Cobb High Student Signs with Chatt Tech

Chattahoochee Tech men’s basketball added to its 2011 signing class with forward Jerrod Jenkins of South Cobb High School. The young man who stands 6-foot-5 brings the incoming class to eight signees, all from Georgia.

Jenkins averaged 14 points and eight rebounds per game as a senior starter for the Eagles last winter, his only season playing high school basketball. He played mostly in a low-post role for head coach Kris Watkins’ team, which finished 14-11.

“We found out about Jerrod late in the recruiting process, as did some other schools that were eventually very interested in him,” said Chatt Tech head coach David Archer. “His length and athleticism allow him to offer many qualities as a basketball player. We think Jerrod will be able to contribute to our team from the outset.”

Jenkins is the third high school prospect to sign in the 2011 class, joining Devarick Houston of Mays High School and Sean Tate of Sequoyah High School. The Golden Eagles also have secured Letters of Intent from four college transfers: Ron Blossomgame (Middle Georgia College); Jacoby Patton (New Mexico State); and Darius Miller and Darius Davis (Central Georgia Tech).

Signing Jarrod continues "our efforts to place a longer, more athletic and versatile team on the floor,” according to Archer. “We are really excited about these two young men joining our program.”

Chattahoochee Tech is entering its third season as a program and the second as a member of NJCAA Division I, playing in Region XVII. The Golden Eagles finished 17-13 last season.
