UPDATE: KJ Jefferson is heading to the transfer portal, maybe?

KJ Jefferson to the transfer portal. The headline you expected, but is still hard to digest.

Our editor said it was likely the best option for him.

On Wednesday morning, the record-setting senior quarterback was linked to it.

KJ Jefferson was linked to the transfer portal, according to media reports.

UPDATE: Jefferson posted on his Instagram page that he has yet to come to a decision.

Jefferson will have many suitors if he does ultimately end up in the portal, with programs like Auburn, Mississippi State and South Carolina looking for quarterbacks who are either graduating or moving on themselves.

The Sardis, Miss., native will end his Razorback career holding a plethora of records.

With news that Arkansas is hiring Bobby Petrino as offensive coordinator and knowing that he had probably topped out on what he could do here, seeing what else is out there is most likely the best move Jefferson could make.

There is also no guarantee that he is on any NFL teams’ radar as draftable as a quarterback.
