Jenkins averaged 14 points and eight rebounds per game as a senior starter for the Eagles last winter, his only season playing high school basketball. He played mostly in a low-post role for head coach Kris Watkins’ team, which finished 14-11.
“We found out about Jerrod late in the recruiting process, as did some other schools that were eventually very interested in him,” said Chatt Tech head coach David Archer. “His length and athleticism allow him to offer many qualities as a basketball player. We think Jerrod will be able to contribute to our team from the outset.”
Gordon, who played for head coach Kim Rivers at Shiloh, averaged 14 points and nine rebounds a game for the Generals. A senior-year highlight was a game-winning lay-up against region rival Parkview in Shiloh’s last victory of the year, a 67-66 overtime win on February 4.
“Tyler is a hustle guy,” Archer said. “He is the kind of player who is so active that he gets a lot accomplished. He really plays hard and we feel like he will be a definite asset to our team.”
Jenkins and Gordon are the third and fourth high school prospects to sign in the 2011 class, joining Devarick Houston of Mays High School and Sean Tate of Sequoyah High School. The Golden Eagles also have secured Letters of Intent from four college transfers: Ron Blossomgame (Middle Georgia College); Jacoby Patton (New Mexico State); and Darius Miller and Darius Davis (Central Georgia Tech).
“The signings of Tyler and Jerrod continue our efforts to place a longer, more athletic and versatile team on the floor,” according to Archer. “We are really excited about these two young men joining our program.”
Chattahoochee Tech is entering its third season as a program and the second as a member of NJCAA Division I, playing in Region XVII. The Golden Eagles finished 17-13 last season.
