Pomona Panthers Promote Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role
The Pomona Panthers, a 5A program based in Arvada, have elevated assistant coach Ryan Jenkins to the position of defensive coordinator. Jenkins joins the staff after three seasons developing talent and building relationships within the program. His promotion is seen as a key move in the Panthers' efforts to improve their 2025 record of 4-6. As a coordinator, Jenkins will oversee the development of the team's defense, a unit that struggled to contain opponents last season. The move is expected to have a significant impact on the Panthers' recruiting efforts, with Jenkins' reputation as a talented coach and mentor likely to attract top talent to the program. The Panthers' competitive landscape will also shift, as Jenkins' leadership is expected to elevate the team's performance in the highly competitive 5A classification.
