FAMU football's Nay'Ron Jenkins back on team after NCAA 5-for-5 rule
The NCAA’s “5-for-5” rule has granted a FAMU football team captain and starting linebacker, Nay’Ron Jenkins, an extra year of eligibility.
Nay’Ron Jenkins, a former team captain and key player for Florida A&M University's football team, has been reinstated to the Rattlers' roster following a recent NCAA ruling. The NCAA's "5-for-5" rule, implemented in June, allows athletes who entered college during the 2022-2023 academic year to return for an additional year of eligibility.
Jenkins, who entered FAMU during this period, will now be eligible to play for one more season. He has already begun preseason training camp and is set to play in FAMU's season opener against Albany State on August 29. Jenkins, who has amassed 145 career tackles and 3.5 sacks during his time with the Rattlers, joins the team under new defensive coordinator Ryan Lewis Sr.
