FAYETTEVILLE — The importance of the addition of Sardis, Miss., North Panola quarterback Kenneth “KJ” Jefferson to Arkansas’ 2019 commitment list on Friday can’t be understated.
Jefferson (6-3, 210 pounds) chose the Razorbacks over Georgia, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, North Carolina State, Baylor, Purdue, Florida Atlantic, Memphis and Indiana, with interest from Ohio State, Auburn and others.
He’s got the size, the speed, a strong arm and compact throwing motion, sprays the ball around to different receivers, the ability to make big plays when protection breaks down and definitely the production that you look for in a dual-threat prospect.
