KJ Jefferson Transfers to UCF Knights for Final Season

The former Arkansas quarterback brings significant experience and a dual-threat capability to UCF's offense.

Former Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson has committed to UCF as a graduate transfer, bringing a wealth of experience and dual-threat ability to the Knights' offense.
Jefferson has amassed 7,911 passing yards, 67 touchdowns, and 18 interceptions, along with 1,876 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns over his five seasons at Arkansas.
UCF, entering its second season in the Big 12, finished with a 6-7 record last season, with much of its struggles attributed to its defense.
Jefferson's transfer comes after Arkansas' disappointing 4-8 season, which saw the Razorbacks bring in a new offensive coordinator and Boise State transfer quarterback Taylen Green.
UCF's previous starting quarterback, John Rhys Plumlee, has used up his eligibility, making Jefferson a key addition to the team.
