A pair of teammates and an SEC Network analyst believe Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson has what it takes to help lead the Razorbacks to a successful season in 2021.
Jefferson, a redshirt sophomore who has largely served as a backup in his first two seasons at Arkansas, is expected to take the reins of the Razorbacks’ offense and will enter preseason practices as the team’s starter. He has only two starts under his belt, but Jordan Rodgers sees a player who has grown more comfortable in his own skin.
