==Amateur career==
Jenkins graduated from New Jersey's Elizabeth High School in 1993, but was ineligible from basketball his senior season due to academics. He played one season at Union County College before leaving to tend to the birth of his son, Hakeem.〔Coffey, Wayne. ("MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY Horace Jenkins, 26, goes from William Paterson to possible NBA first-round pick" ), ''New York Daily News'', April 22, 2001. Accessed March 1, 2008. "It is a prodigious jump, even for someone with a 44-inch vertical leap. It is even more impressive, considering that Jenkins: Never played his senior year at Elizabeth High School"〕 Over the next three and a half years, Jenkins worked for the United States Postal Service, as an electrician, and on the back of a garbage truck. Once he saved up some money, he decided he wanted to go back to college and play basketball.〔(PRO BASKETBALL; N.B.A. Dream Is Alive For Jenkins, Almost 28 - New York Times )〕
While at William Paterson University, Jenkins was a three-time Division III Player of the Year (1999, 2000 and 2001). He also was a three-time Division III All-American, holds numerous school records, and also was named 2001 Basketball Times Division III Player of the Year. Jenkins was also the winner of the 2001 ESPN NCAA dunk contest, beating former Division I standout Jeff Trepagnier. USC's Trepagnier, one of college's most prolific high flyers, missed his last dunk attempt, and the 6'1" (1.85 m) Jenkins had one up his sleeve, wrapping it up with a foul line two-foot leaner.
