SFA DE - Jefferson

Post by GiddyUp »

This guy had 15 sacks last year. Sounds like a total stud and definitely worries me due to our patchwork OL.

This is a blurb from the DC -

Defensive Ends
Willie Jefferson

A 6-6, 234 pound defensive end, Willie Jefferson, is a scary threat for the Lumberjacks defense. Jefferson racked up 15 sacks in his first year playing for the Lumberjacks after transferring from Baylor. Jefferson also scored two touchdowns off of interceptions and even returned one the length of the field for a touchdown. The NFL could come calling for Jefferson if he, like Hunt, polishes his craft a little more, but this senior defensive end could easily cause problems for the Mustangs.
Edge: SFA
Jefferson is a freak of nature. Not many players transition from receiver to defensive end. While Hunt is a freak in his own right, he is still not polished as a defensive end. Jefferson’s speed will be tough for SMU to handle.

Good question, I think he's a NFL type of guy and can cause problems. We will have our hands full with him.

I expect he's better. Baylor's defensive line didn't look that great. They had good athletes, but they usually only rushed 3 and did very few "games" (stunts, twists, etc.) Pretty vanilla stuff. Does anyone know why this guy left Baylor? Academics?

He was a receiver as a true freshman at SFA...then I guess transferred to Baylor!?!...either way, Beast Mode.

He' a DE that doesn't even weigh 240 lbs. We should take care of business.

He should get a steady diet of Zach Line tonight. That's how you slow down guys like him.

Who gives a [deleted]. Run it right at his [deleted]. He was a freakin' former WR. If we are scared of that guy, we need to move down to FCS tomorrow.

Was a WR at BU, then a TE, then a DE, but he couldn't break into the rotation. Had 3 different problems with drugs so we let him go.
