“To the LSU Tigers community, I owe so much to you all. You welcomed me with open arms, and you gave me a place to call home. Every touchdown I scored, every victory we celebrated, it was all because of the energy and love you gave us. LSU isn’t just a university, it’s a family. And that family will always be a part of who I am,” Jefferson wrote.
The letter concluded with a powerful message of gratitude and respect, both for his roots at LSU and for the future of the sport. Jefferson emphasized how proud he was to have represented LSU and how much he continues to carry that pride with him in his professional career.
