Jeffries finished with 23 total tackles (15 solo) and two pass deflections during the 2025 season.

Jefferies is a technically sound defensive back who is effective in both man and zone coverage. He’s not the biggest defensive back on the field, but Jefferies plays fast and physical. 

One of the things that stand out in his highlights are his transition speed and ability to stay in phase. There’s a play in quarters coverage that stands out. Jefferies takes inside leverage and stays patient in his backpedal after the snap. The receiver tries to stack vertically, but Jefferies flips his hips clean and beats him to the spot for the pass breakup. 

I also like his instincts in man coverage. There’s one play where he disrupts a quick slant and another where he doesn’t fall pump fake on a stop-and-go route. Both plays ended up as incompletions, a testament to his discipline. His closing speed stands out as well. 

Jefferies has good closing speed. That shows up on plays that feature vertical routes. He’s often beating receivers to the spot. His reaction to the football , when it’s in the air, is quick. 

The only thing that is probably holding him back from a recruiting standpoint is his size. I’d like to see him continue to get stronger and put on some good weight. With all that being said, I like the confidence he plays with. Jefferies plays fast, is technically sound, has good awareness in coverage, and is tougher than you would think against the run.
