Oak Grove Elevates Assistant to Coordinator Role
The Oak Grove Warriors, a 6A program from Hattiesburg, have promoted assistant coach Ryan Jenkins to defensive coordinator ahead of the 2026 season. Jenkins spent four seasons developing talent on the Warriors' staff, including several key contributors to the team's 2025 campaign. His elevation is seen as a key move to bolster the team's defense, which struggled at times last season. The Warriors are expected to be a top contender in the MHSAA 6A South Region this fall, and Jenkins' promotion could be a major factor in their success. With several key players returning, the Warriors are also expected to be a major recruiting draw in the state's south region. Jenkins' experience and expertise will be crucial in helping the team navigate the competitive 6A landscape.
