Offered by Mississippi State in October. Started several games as an 8th grader last year. Only freshman named to any TSWA all-state team this year; made that team (Class 1A) as on off. lineman but also excelled @ DT (78 tackles, 7.5 TFL).
“Obviously, when the guys come in to recruit Derrell or Holden (Willis) or Braden Carnes or whoever, they always ask us about any underclassmen,” Ryan said. “Well, of course, Bubba’s the first one always mentioned when it comes to underclassmen. From that point on, people really just took an interest and they saw a kid that’s very flexible, and they saw a kid that’s 6-foot-4, 280 (pounds) as an eighth-grader, so that will spark anyone’s interest when you tell them he’s super physical, flexible, he’s getting better every day, he’s got good feet — the whole nine yards. All these teams, such as Oklahoma, Clemson, South Carolina, Mississippi State ... they’re interested in forming a relationship with Bubba because they know he’s going to be a prospect.”
Ryan believes the offers will stack up by the time Jeffries is a senior. "He went to Oklahoma, and they thought really highly of him...He went to Clemson, and the offensive line coach over there called me and said, ‘Hey, just keep his head on straight, and he needs to keep working on his footwork and he’s going to mature, but he’s definitely somebody that we’re interested in.’ Then he went to Tennessee, and they thought the same thing about him. Bubba’s definitely got a very bright future. It’s hard to talk about the future because he’s still just a freshman ...it’s not like a normal kid that you’re talking about.”
