  If Chris Jefferson didn't think he could play in the Big Ten, specifically at Purdue, he wouldn't have placed his name into the NCAA transfer portal during the summer. If Chris Jefferson didn't think he could make the jump from Findlay - an NCAA Division II program - to an FBS program he would've stayed in Ohio. If Purdue's coaches didn't like what they saw from Jefferson during a workout inside the Mollenkopf Athletic Center in June, Jeff Brohm never would've offered the All-American safety.

Jefferson is here now, a member of the program and is looking to play a big role in turning the defense around. One week into preseason practices tell Jefferson he made the right decision. "Oh yes. My confidence has grown a lot," Jefferson said. "When I came here it's like I deserved to be here, but I felt like I've got to prove it to these guys and especially to the team that I deserved to be here. "Now, I feel like I proved it to them so now my confidence is on the rise. They're telling me good job, so it's making me like, 'Man, I'm not just going to come on this level and be an average player.' I'm coming on this level and going to be a weapon for the team." The 5-foot-11, 185-pound Jefferson appeared in 26 career games at Findlay, collecting 12 interceptions and breaking up 10 passes. Jefferson was named to The Associated Press DII All-America first team and earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference in back-to-back seasons. - Journal and Courier
