The Baltimore Blackbirds announced the signing of quarterback brothers, Mike and Robbie Jenkins today providing the team with a much-needed boost. Robbie Jenkins (6’3”, 220), who in two seasons as the starting quarterback for the Richmond Bandits of the AIFL, compiled a 19-2 record, including the league championship in 2005. Last season, Jenkins led the Bandits to a 12-2 record by tossing 81 touchdowns against only 14 interceptions. The Blackbirds also signed Mike Jenkins (6’5”, 240) who has two years experience in indoor football, playing in Amarillo, Texas, as well as Richmond as the backup quarterback for Robbie.

Since his days as a little league quarterback in Culpeper, Virginia, where he became the first youth player to throw for over 1,000 yards, Robbie has racked up wins and touchdowns as a starting quarterback. As a starting quarterback he has totaled 468 touchdowns, with only 70 interceptions, while compiling a record of 99-11-2, including five championships.

As a quarterback at Bridgewater College (VA), Robbie compiled a 16-1 record, including leading the Eagles to the national title game in 2001. As a senior in 2002, he tossed 22 touchdowns and over 2,300 yards in just 12 games leading the Eagles to an 11-1 record, their only loss coming in the Division 3 playoffs.

Mike also started building his winning football reputation in Culpeper. As a senior he led Culpeper High School to a perfect 14-0 record and the state championship, and was named Most Valuable Player of the State All-Star Game.

Mike compiled a 10-4 record as a starter at Randolph-Macon College. In his career Mike has thrown for 135 touchdowns, only 18 interceptions, and has compiled a record of 62-6-2, winning three championships.

“Robbie and Mike have both proven themselves as winners time and time again. They instantly solidify our quarterback position and provide us with an extremely strong foundation, from which to finish this season and to build upon for next season,” stated Blackbirds General Manager, John Wolfe.
