Coming out of Memphis’ Bartlett High School in 2021, Justin Jefferson did not even have a recruiting profile on any of the crootin services sites. Even now, he still has no ranking among his peers. If you said the name “Justin Jefferson”, most people would think of the former LSU and current Vikings wide receiver of the same name. This Jefferson hopes to make a name for himself.
As a high school senior at linebacker, he tallied 116 tackles (74 solo), three sacks, two interceptions (one game-clinching pick-6), and one forced fumble en route to being named First-Team All-Metro (Memphis) and All-State (TN).
