A.J. Jenkins a changed man this spring

The 6-foot, 185-pound Jenkins has clicked with new offensive coordinator Paul Petrino, who talked to the junior the first day he was hired.

"He's been the best receiver this spring," said Petrino, who recruited the Jacksonville area and remembered Jenkins as a high school standout. "A.J.'s been a great worker. He can be a real good player for us. Sometimes, change is good."
