Getty ImagesLooking to end his collegiate career with the possibility of more playing time, ex-Arizona running back Daniel Jenkins will transfer within the Pac-12.
Via his Twitter account, Jenkins said that he will transfer to Washington State.
UofA will always be my Alma Mater, I am excited for the new opportunity to play against the best of the best and achieve my goals at WSU

Jenkins made his decision last month following an 8-5 season for the Wildcats. With Ka’Deem Carey coming back for (one would assume) one more season, there wouldn’t seem to be much playing time for Jenkins unless Carey was injured or suspended. Because Jenkins has already received his undergraduate degree from UA, he can transfer to another FBS school and play immediately.
Jenkins was third on the team in rushing in 2012 behind Carey and quarterback Matt Scott with 293 yards and two touchdowns.
Why go to a school in the same conference. If your alma mater will always be U of Arizona, why go to a school that could play your alma mater? Why not go to a different school in a different conference? I don’t think you care about the U. of Arizona at all! I think you HOPE Wazzu plays them and you have a great day! It’s really all about YOU isn’t it? Well, at least you have earned your degree….that is about all I can say for you from this article…..
Good job Leach.
Once you played in the PAC_12, there is nothing better : Teams, fans, etc.
