Keith Jenkins, the 63rd person associated with the football program inducted into the hall of fame, anchored the Lycoming defense during one of the program’s most successful periods. The defensive end from South Williamsport, Pa., helped the Warriors to a 41-6 record in his career and four Freedom League titles and three MAC titles while starting all four seasons. Along the way, the team reached four NCAA Tournaments, including the 1997 national championship game. A two-time First Team All-MAC selection, Jenkins finished his career with 204 career tackles and an astounding 41 sacks, which is third in school history. A ballhawk, Jenkins holds the school record with eight career forced fumbles, including a record four as a junior in 1997, when he also posted 15.5 sacks, helping him earn Hewlett-Packard/SID Honorable Mention All-American honors. As a senior, he started the year as a Street & Smith’s Preseason All-American. He finished with 11 sacks, an incredible 20 tackles for loss and 50 total tackles, helping him pick up All-American honors, earning third-team honors from Hewlett-Packard and the Don Hansen Football Gazette. He was also a second-team all-region pick.
