Former Ohio State Buckeyes star and two-time Super Bowl champion Malcolm Jenkins is set to receive one of the highest honors in Philadelphia sports. The Eagles have announced that Jenkins will be inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame, cementing his legacy as one of the franchise’s most respected leaders on and off the field.

Jenkins, who was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft, joined the Eagles in 2014 and quickly became the heartbeat of the defense. Over his six seasons in Philadelphia, he earned three Pro Bowl selections and played a pivotal role in helping the team capture its first Super Bowl title in the 2017 season. His performance in Super Bowl LII — including a crucial stop against the Patriots’ high-powered offense — remains a cherished memory for Eagles fans.

Beyond his on-field contributions, Jenkins was known for his leadership in the locker room and his activism off the field. He used his platform to speak out on social issues, co-founding the Players Coalition, and becoming a voice for community change.

The induction ceremony will take place later this season at Lincoln Financial Field, where Jenkins will join other Eagles legends who left an indelible mark on the franchise. For a player who gave everything to the city, the honor feels fitting.

“I poured my heart into this team and this city,” Jenkins said in a statement. “Philadelphia embraced me, challenged me, and together we made history. This means everything.”
