“I’ve decided to enter the transfer portal and attend another university in order to continue my athletic and educations career. GBR forever,” he wrote.
Jefferson was a three-star recruit from the 2016 class. Among outside linebackers, he ranked 64th in the country and was the 51st best prospect in the state of Louisiana.
With Jefferson’s departure, Nebraska is now left with just eight linebackers on scholarship next year.
An official announcement regarding where Jefferson will end up should come at some point in the next few days.
