Ramon Jefferson Stats

Omarr Norman Lott from ASU is going to visit this week for a midweek visit.

And I continue to hear they are gonna look at visiting Sam Houston State RB Ramon Jefferson and UCF WR Jaylon Robinson. Might see them here this weekend.

From the Bronx, like ZZ (though obviously a few years older)

I think he'd be a great add to the RB room for sure and worth one of our remaining 5 spots.

 

[TitanicVolz]

I'm not seeing it myself unless he's a great pass blocker/run blocker...Doesn't offer much in the receiving department but I'll leave all that to the coaches.How many years does he have 1 or 2?I think their just kicking the tires here but also didn't he have a domestic violence incident a few years back?

Broke more tackles in one run than Gray did in his entire college career so far.

 

[VolFanNC09]

He would be an interesting add. Not a sure fire starter but definitely would get playing time. Runs with power and breaks arm tackles.

IMO he's immediately better than Wright and Whitehead. Being that he's anywhere from 22-24 years old and mostly physically mature, he's probably more physically ready for September Pitt/SEC football games than JWT, regardless of how JWT looks shirtless. So he would, IMO, slot in at worst as RB3 and could conceivably go as high as RB1 given his production (at an admittedly lower level of football).

 

[VolsFan5]

he has quick feet. he looks a little faster than small. he would be a nice pick up if the staff decided to go in that direction

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

This dude looks great

Yes it's Sam Houston State, but they are a top 5 FCS program which you can argue translates to a middle of the pack G5 team.

This would be an awesome addition!

This kid does the one thing we need most in that RB room, and that is consistently break tackles. Yes, there is a big jump in competition, but we need someone reliable in short yardage situations. We also need someone with college experience that can physically hold up for the bulk of the season. I'm not saying it's definitely this kid, but the glaring need does exist.

He looks as good as Tiyon Evans

Similarly put together.
Same height and weight.
I couldn't help but think of Evans while watching Jefferson's highlights.

He doesn't have that top gear that Evans had. Tiyon was special when available, but the best ability is availability.

 

[Orange Raid]

I’ve seen him in person several times. I will take the guys in our RB room over him.

Have you watched him and our guys live?

More durable, but not as talented.

This would still be a good add 👍

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Tiyon was never on the field

More durable, but not as talented.

This would still be a good add 👍

Which would make him better than Tiyon since he actually participates in games lol

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

How many years of eligibility does he have?

Jefferson had that top gear in HS.
Does he still possess it?

Eh still not the Evans level too end gear but still really good.

 

[bigl3327]

Nope. Go watch his college highlights.

 

[Vol8188]

The number 4 ranked RB in the country by PFF grade last season. Number 3 in rushing grade.

 

[Type Orange+]

Nope. Go watch his college highlights.

I have. Which is why I emphasized that he had that gear in HS.
Sometimes it's the level of competition, sometimes it's the quality of the OL and downfield blocking that allows a RB to hit that strde. I don't know if we need this kid or not. But I'd kick the tires.

Don't mistake. I'm not knocking this kid. I think Tiyon Evans is a special talent. I also think that he would have put up monster stats had he stayed and bought in. I personally wouldn't mind adding this kid to the roster, but I don't think he's as talented as Evans.
