In 1980 as a senior, Jensen was named the Yankee Conference Offensive Player of the Year as well as all-conference team once again.
His best years came while teamed with quarterback Dan Marino and head coach Don Shula.
After Marino was selected in the 1983 NFL draft, it became evident that Jensen would need to find another way to survive on the Dolphins roster.
He became a human Swiss army knife, with a knack for making tackles on punt and kickoff coverages and converting third down opportunities as a running back or wide receiver in the offensive set with Marino.
[citation needed] In 2000, he served as the head coach for the Miami Tropics of the Spring Football League (SFL).
