The Columbia, S.C. native played in 47 career games for the Tigers, including playing in 12 this past season in which he totaled 21 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and a sack.

Jeffcoat posted his best season in 2020. In the covid-shortened season, the 6-4, 269-pound lineman registered 23 tackles, 6.0 tackles for loss, and a team-leading 6.0 sacks. Those numbers earned him first-team All-SEC by both the league's coaches and the Associated Press.
