KJ Jefferson Announces Return for 2025; Will Join Forces with Rocket Sanders for Final Run

In a surprise announcement that electrified Razorback Nation, quarterback KJ Jefferson revealed he will return to Fayetteville for one final season, utilizing a medical redshirt and NCAA eligibility extension. Jefferson, who has thrown for over 7,500 yards in his college career, said he felt “unfinished business” was the driving force behind his decision. He’ll reunite with dynamic running back Raheim “Rocket” Sanders, forming one of the most feared backfields in the country. Head coach Sam Pittman, visibly emotional during the press conference, called the move “a game-changer for Arkansas football.” The duo plans to lead a veteran-heavy Razorbacks team that also features rising star wide receiver Isaiah Sategna and All-SEC lineman Beaux Limmer. “KJ and Rocket are the heartbeat of this team,” Pittman said. “Them coming back sends a message: we’re not just here to compete—we’re here to win.” Jefferson added that he’s been in constant contact with new OC Bobby Petrino, already working on offensive tweaks to maximize their strengths. Fans flooded social media with #UnfinishedBusiness tags as Jefferson’s return went viral. With a renewed sense of purpose and two of the SEC’s most dangerous weapons back in the fold, Razorback Nation is dreaming big for 2025.
