Leeroy "Hit Stick" Jenkins (born February 15, 2014) is an American football linebacker who is currently unsigned by a professional team. He played college football for Portland State University and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

Born in the state of Hawaii, Leeroy was not the perfect youngster in his early years. He was raised by his single mother and had 4 other siblings. He often got into trouble and even spent a year in juvenial detention when he was 12. That year away from his family and friends really woke him up however because he has been an amazing example of rehabilitation since his release. He credits a mentor named Uncle Wayne Garcia for showing him how to channel his extra energy productively on the football field. He learned and honed his craft as a middle linebacker for the St Louis Saints and started to get national attention as a junior. His senior year at St. Louis was a bit of a let down however as his numbers took a dip due to a nagging injury in his foot. The big name colleges who he started to talk to as a junior quietly backed off in search of greener pastures, but coaches from smaller schools still wanted him to play for them because they saw his potential. Leeroy chose Portland State University because they offered him a "full ride" scholarship and the team didn't have great talent at his position. He saw it as his time to shine.

College career

Leeroy started to get attention as soon as he hit the field. He did not start immediately however as there was an established journeyman senior that was starting to get attention from the DSFL scouts in a breakout year for him. However, halfway through the season the player ahead of Leeroy broke his ankle securing a fumble and was out for the rest of the season. With 6 games left in the season Leeroy collected 46 Total Tackles, 2 Sacks, 2 Interceptions, and 1 Fumble Recovery. Then as a true sophomore, Leeroy had 76 Total Tackles, 3 Sacks, 2 Interceptions, 2 Forced Fumbles, 1 Fumble Recovery, and 1 Safety. His final year at Portland State University was his junior year as Leeroy opted to join the DSFL draft process instead of returning for his senior year. He totaled 95 Total Tackles, 5 Sacks, 2 Interceptions, 1 Forced Fumble, 2 Fumble Recoveries, and 1 Defensive TD. He also blocked 1 field goal and played on the return team all 3 years. Leeroy was named a Team Captain in his Junior year and was honored to be included as a second team All-Conference for the Big Sky Conference as a sophomore and as a first team All-Conference as a junior. He was in the running for Defensive Player of the Year as a junior but it went to a RsSenior DT from Eastern Washington University instead.
