What's your take on Janoris Jenkins so far this season? He's the only freshman starting on defense. The coaches seem to love him.
"He's a heck of a player," coach Urban Meyer said. "There are things that make Janoris what he is -- he goes to class, he's a high character guy, he has a great family, he's appreciative of everything, he busts his tail and he's a playmaker."
Several other factors have contributed to Jenkins' advanced learning curve. Graduating from Pahokee in December 2007 allowed him to enroll at Florida a semester early. He competed in spring practice and grew accustomed to the tempo of college football before fall camp.
"We knew early on that Janoris was going to be a really good player for us; he's got speed and talent," defensive coordinator Charlie Strong said.
