“I am extremely impressed with the wealth of experience Coach Eley has brought to our athletics program as Associate Head Coach,” Alabama State President Dr. Quinton Ross said in a release. “His knowledge of Hornets football will be of great benefit as we continue to support our student-athletes and the University’s football program.”
Alabama State is currently 0-5 after Thursday’s 24-10 loss to SWAC East foe Alcorn State. The loss was ASU’s sixth consecutive to a Division I team.
Jenkins arrived at ASU with high expectations after leading Bethune-Cookman to a 46-14 record and four MEAC titles in five seasons after taking over in 2011. His overall record at ASU is 9-17.
