KJ Jefferson, the quarterback for Arkansas, declared on Instagram on Saturday afternoon that he is entering the transfer portal

Little Rock, Arkansas – Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson announced on his Instagram Saturday afternoon that he is entering the transfer portal.

“It has been a dream to be captain and QB1 at the University of Arkansas. Accomplishing those records and being mentioned among the great QBs in Razorback history was an honor, but the memories and friendships I’ve made with my coaches and teammates along the way are what I’ll cherish the most,” Jefferson said in his post.

“To the fans, I can’t express my gratitude enough for all of the support I’ve received from this great state. I hope you’ve enjoyed watching me grow as a man and a player as much as I’ve enjoyed representing this state and university. You accepted me as one of your own, and for that, I’m forever grateful and in your debt,” Jefferson said, “and with that being said, after much prayer and thought, I’ll be entering the transfer portal for my final year of eligibility. Go Hogs, woo pig 4L.”

Jefferson’s collegiate career began back in 2019, when the four-star prospect from Sardis, Mississippi chose Arkansas over home-state teams Ole Miss and Mississippi State, as well as Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, and others.

It remains to be seen which university Jefferson will transfer to.
