That certainly didn’t last long.
In mid-June, Houston announced former Miami defensive lineman Courtel Jenkins was one of four Power Five transfers who had been added to Major Applewhite‘s roster. A little over three months later? Jenkins is no longer on the roster.DT Courtel Jenkins, who was sitting out season after transferring from #Miami, is no longer with the Houston football program, school says

No reason for the departure was given.
While Jenkins was not eligible to play in games this season, he had been practicing with his Cougar teammates. After this year, he has one year of eligibility remaining.
The past three seasons, Jenkins, a three-star member of the Hurricanes’ 2014 recruiting class, appeared in 34 games at The U. He started seven of those contests, with all seven of those coming in 2015.
In 2016, he was credited with 11 tackles in 10 games. 4.5 of those were tackles for loss, a total that was tied for 10th on the team.
In early February, Miami announced that Jenkins had been dismissed from the football program for violating unspecified team rules.
