KJ Jefferson is finally “that dude” for Arkansas football after waiting his turn patiently for the past few years. The redshirt sophomore quarterback was surrounded with plenty of doubt and question marks before the season began, but after putting up career numbers through three games, the concerns have subsided.

The first-year starter has 632 passing yards and four touchdowns with two picks and a 60-plus percent completion rate. He also averages an impressive 10 yards per attempt and he’s rushed for 180 yards and two touchdowns on just 24 carries. He looks like the real deal so far.

On Saturday afternoon, he’s going to become a household name nationally as he puts up four total touchdowns against the Aggies in a huge ranked battle.

While he has just six touchdowns on the year, that number will increase to 10 as he puts the Razorbacks on his back.
