Talons Sign SEC Lineman
November 17, 2010 - Arena Football League (AFL)
Tulsa Talons News Release
The Tulsa Talons announced today Offensive Lineman Justin Jeffries has signed to play with the Talons in 2011.
Jeffries, the son of Curtis Jeffries who played for the Cincinnati Bengals was a 4-year starter at Kentucky. As a Freshman, Jeffries was named to the SEC All-Freshman team by league coaches. Over the next 3 seasons he was part of an offensive line that set a school record for points in a season and a line that ranked nationally in sacks given up in a season (13 total sacks-4th in the nation in 2008).
In 2010, Jeffries attended the San Diego Chargers camp as an undrafted free agent and made it to the last cut.
"Justin is the type of player we have been working to get this off-season. He is a young guy with a ton of upside, who was just in a NFL camp and is without a doubt an NFL talent. Playing against the competition he faced in the SEC, I'm sure his talents are going to transfer over to the arena game really well," said Head Coach Mitch Allner.
Talons season tickets are on sale for as low as $90. Contact the Talons office at 294-1000 to see how you can get 9 games for the price of 8.
