Joseph Jefferson II - So.
Indianapolis, IN (Pike HS)
6', 190 pounds
Defensive Back
2024 Projection: Reserve
Jefferson is entering his third year in the program and he has shown steady progress each season. He played in the blowout of Indiana State in 2022, but was able to still redshirt. Last year he played in 11 of 12 games, but mostly on special teams. He did get a pair of tackles against Indiana.
At Pike HS he recorded 75 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, four interceptions and one forced fumble on his way to first team all-state honors as a senior, which was quite impressive considering that Pike was 1-9 in his senior season. He also wrestled and ran track there.
Jefferson's development should lead to more time on the field this year. This is a great chance for him to crack the two-deep, especially since he is a holdover from the Brohm era.
