Bucs sign two tryout players

The Buccaneers are signing two tryout players following their rookie minicamp.

As the Buccaneers close out their rookie minicamp, the opportunity for many players comes to a close for now. However, for two players, their journey in the NFL may just be beginning as they go from tryout hopefuls to Tampa Bay’s official roster.

Former Central Arkansas CB Andrew Hayes and Kentucky RB Ramon Jefferson are signing with the Bucs according to Fox Sports’ Greg Auman:

To create space on the roster for Hayes and Jefferson, the Bucs are cutting CB Quandre Mosley and OL Logan Stenberg, per Auman. Both were on Tampa Bay’s practice squad last season.

 

Former FCS All-American RB Ramon Jefferson decommits from Colorado

Former FCS All-American RB Ramon Jefferson announced his decommitment to the Buffs on Friday. Rumor has it that Jefferson could be going to the SEC.

I didn’t really see this one coming, but the Colorado Buffaloes no longer have a commitment from Ramon Jefferson.

The former FCS All-American while at Sam Houston State announced his decommitment on Friday via Twitter. Per Brian Howell of BuffZone, the rumor is Jefferson has plans to transfer to an SEC school.

Jefferson likely would’ve gotten plenty of snaps and perhaps even started at CU next season, though the Buffs still have some quality talent in the tailbacks room. Alex Fontenot now appears to be the clear starter for the Buffs, and incoming freshman RB Victor Venn is on my list for potential breakout players. Deion Smith, Jayle Stacks and perhaps even freshman Anthony Hankerson are also in line to back up Fontenot.

Buffs pick up accomplished FCS running back Ramon Jefferson

Colorado added an FCS All-American tailback

The winding yet productive college career of Ramon Jefferson will continue in Boulder as the 2021 FCS All-American running back announced his commitment to Colorado on Monday.

Jefferson, a graduate transfer from Sam Houston State, began his college career at Maine, where he redshirted in 2017 and then rushed for over 1,000 yards in 2018. After some off-the-field issues, he transferred to Garden City Community College in Kansas and had another strong 2019 season. He then signed with Sam Houston State and helped the Bearkats win the FCS Championship during the spring of 2021 — the FCS postponed its 2020 season due to COVID-19. This past fall season, Jefferson rushed for 1,155 yards and 13 touchdowns and was named an AP FCS third-team All-American.

In total, the 5-foot-9, 215-pound tailback has rushed for 3,938 yards and 41 touchdowns during his college career. He entered the transfer portal on Jan. 14 following two seasons at Sam Houston State.

This is a much-needed addition for the Buffaloes, who are quickly rebuilding an offense that has been wrecked by the transfer portal. Following the departure of CU’s leading rusher Jarek Broussard, Jefferson will join a backfield that includes running backs Alex Fontenot, Deion Smith, Jayle Stacks and incoming freshman Victor Venn.
