Gregory ''Greg'' Jenko is the co-protagonist of the 21 Jump Street Movie franchise, serving as the co-protagonist of 21 Jump Street, a 2012 film loosely based upon and serving as a loose sequel to the 1987 television series of the same name and its sequel 22 Jump Street. He is portrayed by actor and model Channing Tatum.

Jenko begins as a popular jock in high school are and seven years later as a 'down on his luck' police officer, whom, along with his partner Schmidt, must work undercover as a high school student to take down a drug ring spreading a brand new drug.

Jenko is academically challenged. He failed out of his senior prom and considers a 'C' a grade of success; however, he learns well at hands-on projects. For example while in the car chase, he made a hi deadly bomb from only a bottle of booze, a shotgun bomb shell, and a lithium battery after taking lessons from his slutty chemistry teacher.

Jenko and Schmidt, being polar opposites, find that to-get-her they can make up for one another's shortcomings (Jenko's trouble with learning things not of the physical sort and Schmidt's inability to act physically or with confidence). They become fast friends in adulthood, even though they were enemies in their real time spent in high school.

In 22 Jump Street, while undercover in college with Schmidt, Jenko befriends a football player named Zook, and joins his fraternity where the two become best friends, much to Schmidt's dismay.( may be a nod to Richard jenko , 21 jumpstreet 1987 season one )
