Josh “Big Jenk” Pokrywka isn’t just chasing field goals — he’s chasing moments.
And one of his most recent stops? Prairie View A&M.
If you’ve spent any time scrolling sports content on Instagram or TikTok lately, chances are you’ve seen “Big Jenk” lining up kicks in football stadiums across the country.
And his latest stop? Prairie View A&M.
How Big Jenk got inside Prairie View’s football stadium
In the now-viral clip, Big Jenk, whose real name is Josh Pokrywka, documents his attempt to enter Blackshear Field for a “field goal challenge” as part of his journey to do so at every college stadium in America, something he’s done since 2021.
After entering through an unlocked gate and making it near the field, Big Jenk says he’s told by a Prairie View staffer that the facility is off-limits to the public and is asked to leave.
Big Jenk then returns several hours later and finds the gate he previously entered now locked.
That doesn’t stop him. There is content to make.

Big Jenk, who is a loan officer in Baltimore, eventually opens an unlocked door outside the stadium and climbs several flights of stairs before entering a suite belonging to Prairie View President Dr. Tomikia P. LeGrande.
He drinks water from a fountain and then heads to the field through the stands, all while complimenting how great the stadium looks.
Big Jenk then converts a 35-yard field goal and later tries to dunk a football over the goalpost before leaving.
He says all the work — traveling to stadiums — is done for charity, supporting the “No Kid Hungry” Foundation, which helps provide meals for children in need.
But one can’t help but think that while Big Jenk’s efforts might have been for a good cause and even entertaining, he exposed vulnerabilities in the school’s security.
After all, he was banned from the University of Michigan last year for trespassing after attempting a similar stunt at The Big House.
