The 5’11” Jeffries is beginning his fourth season as a varsity player for the Jays. He has already received an offer from nearby Columbia College with interest in other schools such as Missouri Baptist, Rock Valley and Missouri Western.
As he enters his senior year, Jeffries is on track to break the school’s career assists record as well as score his 1,000th point. He is an excellent ball handler who can organize the offense and set up teammates with his excellent passing skills. He is also a knock down perimeter shooter with the ability to get into the lane on the dribble.
As a junior, Jeffries earned Class 5 All Central Region recognition for his excellent play in 2019. He has his goals set on accomplishing some big things as a team this upcoming season.
“The team goals for the season are to win districts and hopefully make a run at the Final Four,” Jeffries said. “During the summer, I improved on creating my own shot and getting stronger and more athletic in the weight room.”
Jeffries enjoyed an excellent summer grassroots season while playing with the Mid-Mo Elite 17U team. On a team full of talented players from Mid-Missouri, Jeffries was the straw that stirred the drink for a team that played competitively in every tournament they entered, including a championship at the Chicago Summer Slam in July. The team was coached by his father Billy Jeffries, who was a former basketball standout and coach as well as the high school and collegiate level.
“Playing with Mid Mo Elite was a huge confidence booster because I was playing with and against really good players all summer,” he said. “The key to my success at point guard would definitely be having my dad as a former high school and college coach, so I think I see a lot of stuff on the court that everyone else may not see.”
