In 2012, Jankowski had a break out year, breaking his previous school record for stolen bases and setting school records in batting average, hits, runs, and triples.[1] In leading the Seawolves to their first ever College World Series appearance, Jankowski earned First Team All-American and America East Player of the Year honors.[1][3]

With the TinCaps, Jankowski hit .282 with 17 stolen bases in 59. He spent the 2013 season with the Class A-Advanced Lake Elsinore Storm.[5]
