Wise Pumas Name New Coordinator

The Wise Pumas of Upper Marlboro have elevated assistant coach Michael Jenkins to the role of defensive coordinator. Jenkins spent five seasons developing talent at the program, helping the Pumas improve from a 2-8 record in 2021 to a 7-5 mark in 2025. As coordinator, Jenkins will oversee the Pumas' defense, which was ranked 12th in the 4A classification last season. The move is expected to boost the Pumas' recruiting efforts, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. With a strong defense and a deep roster, the Pumas are poised to make a run at the 4A playoffs this fall. The team will hold its annual summer camp in late July, where Jenkins will work with the defense to refine its techniques and strategies.
