Nate Britt and Kris Jenkins Update - College Basketball

July 21, 2018
Nate Britt and Kris Jenkins grew up as brothers in the same household, and now compete for North Carolina and Villanova with a potential Final Four meeting on the horizon.

Nate Britt and Kris Jenkins were teammates at Gonzaga College High School in Washington, DC, but their bond runs deeper than basketball. The Britt family took in Jenkins when he was in sixth grade, raising him as their own son.

Now the brothers compete on separate courts—Britt as a guard at North Carolina and Jenkins as a shooter at Villanova. Their complementary games once made them formidable together: Britt's speed and passing created opportunities for Jenkins' shooting. A potential NCAA Tournament matchup would add another chapter to their remarkable story.
