Amir Jenkins
#82"Class of 2026 | 6’3 Point guard | Worcester academy |"
West Virginia
Scout Report
A floor general with ideal size for the position, this Massachusetts native has quickly transitioned from prep standout to college contributor.
Background
Hailing from Worcester, Massachusetts, Jenkins developed his skills through the competitive New England prep circuit at Worcester Academy. His journey from local standout to nationally ranked prospect culminated in a commitment to West Virginia, where he's now adjusting to the collegiate level. The 6-2 guard was ranked #82 nationally in the 2025 high school recruiting class before making the jump to Division I basketball.
Playing Style
Jenkins possesses the prototypical size and skillset that modern college programs covet in a point guard. His 6-2 frame allows him to see over smaller defenders while creating mismatches when posted up against opposing guards. He demonstrates solid court vision and decision-making ability, though he's still adapting to the speed and physicality of college basketball. His shooting mechanics appear sound, but consistency from deep will be crucial for his development as a primary ball-handler in the Big 12.
Recruitment
Now enrolled at West Virginia, Jenkins is focused on earning meaningful minutes in the Mountaineers' rotation. His development will likely determine his ceiling as either a rotational piece or potential starter in the competitive Big 12 Conference. The coaching staff saw enough potential to offer early in his prep career, and his adjustment to college basketball will be closely monitored.
