HOPEWELL, N.J. – On Wednesday, Her Hoop Stats officially released their midseason 2025 Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Watch List, with redshirt senior Jordyn Jenkins representing UTSA as one of 15 front-runners for the award.
The Kent, Washington native was named to the organization's preseason watchlist and has starred for the Roadrunners since, claiming a league-high four American Athletic Conference Player of the Week awards while leading the squad to a 14-2 record and their best start in the program history.
With 315 points, Jenkins averages 19.7 PPG, ranking 28th in the NCAA. She also paces The American in free throws (70), free throw percentage (84.3), and field goals (116) while sitting second in blocks (23) and eighth in rebounds per game (7.1).
Jenkins has posted five double-doubles on the season, and surpassed double-digit scoring figures in all 16 games. She's scored 20-plus points on six separate occasions, has been featured as a member of the NCAA Starting Five, and was a USBWA Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Week after averaging 28.5 PPG at a 70.4% clip with 11.5 RPG over contests against New Mexico State and UTEP.
10 semifinalists for the award will be announced in February. The five finalists will be announced in early March, with the winner announced around the Final Four. The list is fluid, and players may play their way on or off it over the course of the season.
