Arkansas just landed a key commitment from quarterback KJ Jefferson from Sardis (Miss.) South Panola.

Jefferson picked Arkansas over offers from schools like Baylor, Georgia, Memphis, Missouri, Mississippi State, Texas A&M and Ole Miss.

Jefferson checks in as a three-star prospect by Rivals.com. He is rated as the No. 20 overall prospect in Mississippi and the No. 18 dual-threat quarterback nationally.

The 6-foot-3, 205 pounder put up monster numbers in 2017 and is a true dual-threat quarterback. He passed for over 3,000 yards and rushed for over 1,200 yards in 2017 while scoring 52 total touchdowns.

"Jefferson is a versatile prospect, he even has some snaps on his highlight reel where he goes under the center, which you just don't see quite as often in today's game. As a passer, Jefferson is not yet as mechanically consistent as the first two guys on the list here, but speaks even more to his upside. He has a big arm and can push the ball down the field. He is rated as a dual-threat, but his passing numbers were impressive. He is a guy who will beat you with his arm first and then his legs. Jefferson can improvise and pick up big yards on designed runs. His ability as a runner brings a different dimension to the table and it opens up more one-on-one situations in the passing game."

"With KJ he is obviously a big kid. I love the frame. Love the athleticism and I love the intangibles. He has the ability to extend the play, buy time in the pocket, throw the ball on the move and make things happen with his legs. He has a big arm. His ability to extend the play and his arm strength are probably the two biggest things that really stand out He has to clean up his mechanics. He has to become more of a consistent passer. He makes quick reads right now in the offense he plays in, but his progressions and his check-downs and that type of stuff (as he transitions to college). The kid works hard and he is a natural athlete. He is going to jump out the minute he steps on the field with his size. Jefferson is a guy who I think can thrive in the Arkansas system. It is all about upside with him."
