For several seasons, Jendryaszek’s offensive line paved the way for a successful offensive crusade, ranking in the top of the NJAC in passing offense and passing efficiency. Under his direction, numerous student-athletes earned All-Conference recognition, as his line put up a tough competitive front for a nationally ranked offensive scheme.
Prior to his stint with TCNJ, Jendryaszek spent seven seasons with Kings College as the assistant offensive football coach, serving as the recruiting coordinator, offensive run game coordinator, and offensive line coach for the Monarchs.
Jendryaszek played four seasons for SUNY Cortland on the offensive line, returning to his alma mater as an offensive line coach in August 2008 for the next two seasons.

They followed that appearance with an ECAC Northwest Bowl Appearance the following season.
Jendryaszek earned his bachelor’s degree from SUNY Cortland in 2006 in physical education, continuing his playing career with the Rochester Raiders, a member of the Continental Indoor Football League, for two years following graduation, earning the 2007 Continental Indoor title as an offensive lineman and captain for the arena football squad.
An offensive lineman for the Red Dragons from 2002-2005, Jendryaszek was the 2002 Offensive Rookie of the Year and 2005 Most Valuable Offensive Player for Cortland, twice assisting the squad to the ECAC Division III Northwest Bowl Championship two straight seasons. Cortland claimed the 2002 title, posting a 9-2 overall record Jendryaszek’s freshman season.
Jendryaszek played a key role in the Red Dragon’s 7-3 overall slate his senior season, laying claim to the NJAC title, and earning the automatic bid to the NCAA Division III championship tournament. That same season, he was selected to the All-NJAC First Team as an offensive lineman, his second consecutive All-Conference nod as a guard, earning Football Gazette All-American Honorable Mention accolades alongside All-East honors.
