Clemson commit on big interception: "Opportunity knocked and I answered"

lived the dream of every defensive lineman last Friday, returning an interception for a touchdown.

The 2018 Clemson commit out of Covington (GA) Newton read a screen pass and returned it 25 yards for a touchdown in Friday’s 37-0 win over Shiloh. It’s all part of the resume for Jefferies, who has played multiple positions this season.

“It’s all in a day's work,” Jefferies told TigerNet. “This season, I’ve played defensive tackle, defensive end, middle linebacker, tight end and backup punter. It was good to get a touchdown to top it all off. “

Jefferies said he knew from film study that a screen was on the way.
