My Story

Beyond the Field

I love people, and I have a deep desire to see young men reach their full potential and build strong character along the way.

I was raised in Prince George's County, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C. Today I'm blessed with a beautiful, sweet wife and a lovely daughter, and I love serving in my local church.

Feel free to reach out with any inquiry. My goal is always what's best for the athlete, whether that's training with me or connecting you with someone better suited to your needs. I'm happy to help make that happen.

Who Is Shaneil Jenkins?

Bob Sturm, writing for Dallas Morning News SportsDay, looked at Jenkins during Dallas Cowboys training camp and the 2016 preseason. Jenkins was a Shepherd University defensive end. He signed with Denver as an undrafted free agent. Denver released him early in camp, and the Cowboys brought him in. He wore #69. Sturm wrote that the plays he showed were 3-technique work, including a strip sack against Miami and the first sack of Jared Goff's NFL career (preseason).

Cowboys: 3 Players to Watch Against Miami

Ryan Johnson ranked Jenkins first of the three players to watch, ahead of Dak Prescott.

August 13, 2016 preseason vs. the Los Angeles Rams at the LA Memorial Coliseum. Jenkins, wearing #69, sacked Jared Goff in the second quarter.

“It's no secret the Cowboys are searching for anyone to help with their pass rush. Last Saturday against the Rams, number 69 Jenkins really stood out on tape and also recorded a sack on Jared Goff.”
Ryan Johnson, Cover32
“After getting released by the Broncos, the Cowboys picked Jenkins up and moved him inside. The move paid off as he recorded a sack on Jared Goff.”
