Georgia Bulldogs: John Jenkins Signs With Georgia, Fills Key Need (VIDEO)

The Georgia Bulldogs finally have the main piece to the 3-4 puzzle in nose guard John Jenkins, the 6'4" 353-pound JUCO prospect from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College chose Georgia over Florida because, in the end he "...felt they [Georgia] really needed me. Everybody else said they needed me, too, but at Georgia it just felt right. It felt like home."

And need him they did.

Todd Grantham has long looked for a player to fill-in the spot known only as the "nose"—a player who could both eat up space and create rushing lanes off the edge for the defensive ends to run through. If Jenkins is anything like advertised, he fits that bill and then some. 

Here's some video of Big John—the 26th and final commitment for 2011:

Jenkins is No. 95 in the video, but is expected to wear No. 6 (yes, that's not a typo) for the Georgia Bulldogs in 2011.
