Don't think he will go in the national draft. But would be a very interesting and potentially a very good rookie selection for a club willing to take the chance.

Those are some top results from a guy of his size.

If stats alone made a footballer, he'd be a certainty.
However, can he really play footy?

A club might risk a rookie pick on him, but not a place on a list. There is too much competition for someone as risky as that.
 
The video shows some impressive things, running bounces at 6-6", kicks under pressure and goals however that league is certainly below a VFL level so will be interesting, clubs may want to see him train with them before the drafts

Stats are impressive. Is there upside if get its a professional environment eg is 100kg high or low body fat? Veratility is a big selling point now , can he play forward? If so whats his goal kicking like under pressure.
Still all things considered , If he could get into the VFL one might think that with those figures he would get a chance at the next level. ( ahla Mumford)
 
I think a club may grab him as he may well move into the VFL and be there for everyone to see, any club who is onto him now may well move early and lock him up.

On CMFL website, he kicked 14 goals in 11 games which is great as a ruckman so should be a decent part-time forward.

Will be interesting to track

14 in 11 with the natural advantages he would have at that level is not fantastic as a forward. Still one would ned to look closer to study time onball into time in forwardline ie 1 goal for every 30 minutes in the forwardline sounds a lot better than 1 a match.
 
Sorry I was not clear there, I mean the 14 goals in 11 games was good as he played strictly as a ruckman. Rucked entire games and probably only spent short stints forward.
 
State Screening percentages overall

20m sprint: 2.91 seconds (Top 7%)
Standing Vertical: 71cm (Top 6%)
Running Vertical: 93cm (Top 2%)
Unsure on agility run percentage (8.60) and beep test (13.3)

Alongside Isaac Smith, Peter Faulks (Now at Freo) and Myles Sewell, seemed to be the real spark-makers at the recent camp

Where did you find the results from the state screenings??
 
Kerang > Swan Hill

Don't follow the CMFL but being from swan hill he wont be void of football knowledge like an Irish player or an Armfield, no idea if he is any good though.

Told by him in person he was somewhere in between 196 and 200cm. Apparently a few guys were complaining the measurements at State Screening were inadequate. Easy enough to find out, get a club to measure him again lol

Only top prospect Matthew Watson has similar size in regards to weight as he does. I heard Kevin Sheehan raving about Sam Day's results, saying he was a freak but Jenkins' scores were within a centimetre or two in the verticals and his running times were quicker, just doesn't have the state level games under his belt
 
Fantastic athleticism, and his sprint result is highly impressive. Seems to have real potential to work with.

Due to how little footy he's played (20 games total was it?) and the league he's playing in, no way he'll go main draft, but could be a smokey for a rookie list somewhere.

If he misses out he just needs to get into one of the state leagues next year, if he can show the same attributes there then he'd be a certainty to be drafted in 12 months time the way the game is moving towards athletic big blokes now.

The 20 games is in the last 3 years mate including one with Frankston, he was like many kids who played both footy and hoops growing up then decided to pursue basketball and miss a large chunk. Still has all the footy awareness and feel

Impressive then if he's played that little footy.

Still don't think he'll go national, although with the lack of ruck depth in this draft you never know. Good rookie chance though.
 
He seems to think he'll go in the rookie draft. I found his twitter by coincidence when looking @AFLDraft and he says

Yeah mate going hard, hoping to get picked up Dec 7th. Heading to Adel Dec 1-3 to have a couple chats. What's going down there?
