Russ Rose Then (2018): “Jenna is as good of a backrow player coming in as we’ve had in years. She has a great touch on the ball, plays very hard, and covers a large area. I think her defense is her strength and her confidence is high. I would expect her to come in and really challenge for a lot of playing time.”
