247 list him at6'4 255.
"It is worth noting that all four of those committees reside in the state of Georgia. He’s listed as a DE on all the recruiting services, but don’t expect that to hold.
Jefferson has grown to 270 pounds since those totals were updated on his prospect pages. He was a very trim 245 pounds going back to August of 2018. His body has just kept developing.
Douglas County head coach Johnny White told DawgNation on Monday morning that he’s expected to be a defensive tackle at the college level. White said Jefferson will also line up at defensive tackle for Douglas County for the 2020 season.
The 6-foot-4, 270-pounder still ranks as the nation’s No. 11 strong-side DE and the nation’s No. 143 overall prospect for the 2021 class on the 247Sports Composite ratings."

Great get Dawgs



Evaluation

quote:

---

Big bodied defensive end that is a good candidate to kick down to an interior defender. Thick frame and not overly long. Basketball player that is athletic enough to be a situational jump ball wide receiver in high school. More of a 3-4 end than a true edge rusher but has some positional versatility. Big body that can move. Checks the box on productivity. Monochromatic as a pass rusher with limited bend and nuance. Will take what is there defensively but not necessarily a disruptor. Naturally strong but needs to be more assertive. Versatile defensive lineman with a coveted body type that is a likely Power Five starter with NFL Draft upside.
