Alabama lands star LB from JUCO ranks, Justin Jefferson

Alabama lands a JUCO stud LB in Justin Jefferson!

The Crimson Tide landed a commit from JUCO linebacker Justin Jefferson today. Jefferson attended Pearl River CC in Poplarville, MS, and ran a blistering 4.34 40-yard dash.

Jefferson is 6’3 and 210 pounds, an outstanding frame for an interior linebacker. As a senior in high school, Jefferson was First Team All-State and had 116 tackles. During this past season with Pearl River, he had 53 tackles, three sacks, and one interception in nine games.

Despite being a JUCO guy, Jefferson has garnished a lot of interest as he ultimately chose the Tide over the likes of Auburn, Florida, Oregon and many more.
