With the 2021 NFL Draft taking place on the 29th of April, sportswriters at the FAU University Press will be analyzing and scouting former Owls who hope to hear their name be called in the upcoming draft, and FAU players who didn’t get the chance to have a pro day in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Noah Jefferson is one of the players who fit into the latter category. Jefferson began his career at the University of Southern California in 2015, but transferred to FAU in 2018 after suffering a season-ending injury with the Trojans, then transferring to Arizona Western Junior College.
