figures to be one of the more important players for Dan Mullen and the Florida Gators this upcoming season. But he’ll spend the next few months rehabbing, as he had right shoulder surgery, according to the Gainesville Sun’s Robbie Andreu.
Per Andreu Jefferson will miss four months with the injury, which puts him out until mid-August. Florida opens its 2018 season on Sept. 1 when the Gators host Charleston Southern.
Last season, Jefferson racked up 47 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks for the Gators. He bypassed the 2018 NFL Draft, and decided to come back to Florida for his senior season.
