A week after teammates Connor Heyward and Brandon Bouyer-Randle entered the transfer portal, sophomore running back La’Darius Jefferson decided it was in his best interest to do the same.
I can confirm that Michigan State running back La’Darius Jefferson entered the transfer portal today.
The former Muskegon (Mich.) High School star was a quarterback at the prep level and led his team to the state title, but Michigan State’s staff saw him more as a running back than a dual-threat passer. He made the transition, added some weight and became a bruising back for the Spartans, flashing some effectiveness at the position as a true freshman.
