📍 Salem Spartans·Sunday, July 5, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The Salem Spartans have elevated assistant coach Michael Jenkins to defensive coordinator, a move that comes after four seasons of developing talent and contributing to the team's 12-8 record over the past two years in 4A classification. Jenkins' promotion is expected to boost the Spartans' recruiting efforts, particularly in the defensive backfield, where he has a strong network of connections. The move also sets the stage for a competitive 2026 season, as the Spartans look to contend for a district title in a revamped 4A North Region. With Jenkins at the helm, the Spartans are poised to make a statement on the field, and his experience will be crucial in shaping the team's defensive strategy.
