FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Jenkins Staying At Ohio State
Defensive back will return for senior season

COLUMBUS , Ohio ? All-America defensive back Malcolm Jenkins has decided to stay at Ohio State for his senior year, head coach Jim Tressel announced today.

A statement from Jenkins:

?After a great deal of deliberation, I have decided to remain at Ohio State for 2008 to complete my degree and my football career.

?I don?t feel that I?ve accomplished everything I can accomplish in college football, and there?s still a lot for me to conquer and shoot for: the national championship, another Big Ten championship, the Thorpe Award. And I really look forward to the honors and perks associated with being a senior on this team.

?We have a great schedule next year, which should be a whole lot of fun. I?m on track to graduate next spring in communications, which will make my mom very happy.

?I have received a lot of good advice from coaches, friends and family and it has boiled down to one message: Figure out what?s important to you and follow your heart.

?My whole class is still here; we came in together and always planned on leaving at the same time. I?m just having fun right now and there are some things you can?t put a price on. I?m not sure I want to turn football into a career just yet.?

Jenkins, from Piscataway , N.J. , was a second team All-American and a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award this season. He earned first team all-Big Ten honors with 47 tackles and four interceptions in 2007 for the nation?s top-ranked defense.
