Arkansas’ KJ Jefferson became the latest SEC quarterback to enter the NCAA transfer portal on Saturday.

The 6-foot-3, 245-pound Jefferson has passed for 7,911 yards and 67 touchdowns while also rushing for 1,876 yards and 21 TDs in 44 career games with the Razorbacks. He has one season of eligibility remaining.
