A third Jefferson brother is officially joining the LSU Tigers football team.

Destrehan wide receiver Justin Jefferson signed his paperwork to join the LSU football team on Wednesday, the receiver tweeted out.

The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Jefferson is the younger brother of former LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson (2008-11) and former LSU safety Rickey Jefferson (2013-2016).

He caught 57 passes for 1,250 yards and 12 touchdowns as a senior and was the Metro area's third leading receiver in 2016.

Jefferson completed coursework over the summer that allowed him to qualify at LSU. He also had offers from Nicholls State, Northwestern State and Tulane.
