FRISCO, Texas–One of the players I was most excited to see at the 2024 East-West Shrine Bowl was Arkansas’ Trajan Jeffcoat. A transfer from Missouri, Jeffcoat was an All-SEC performer as a redshirt sophomore with the Tigers in 2020, racking up six sacks and 23 tackles in eight games during the COVID-shortened season. He would finish his college career with 15.5 sacks, 28 tackles for a loss and 100 total tackles in five seasons, and in his final season at Arkansas, Jeffcoat had 8.5 tackles for a loss and 4.5 sacks.

He also boasts impressive measurables, coming in at 6040 and 266 pounds with 33 4/8″ arms at Shrine Bowl weigh-ins.
