FCS All-American Ramon Jefferson, a transfer from Sam Houston State, announced his transfer to Kentucky Tuesday.

The 5-foot-10, 215-pound running back played two seasons at Sam Houston State.

During those two seasons, Jefferson totaled 1,907 yards on 299 career carries.

This past season, Jefferson rushed for 1,155 yards and 13 touchdowns on his way to being named Associated Press FCS second-team All-American and first-team All-Western Athletic Conference.

Kentucky coach Mark Stoops had this to say about the addition of Jefferson.

“We are excited to have Ramon join our Wildcat family,” Stoops said. “He is an excellent tailback, providing another quality player for us at that position. He was one of the top rushers in the FCS last season and he is a good fit for our scheme. He’s tough, physical, and durable and we are looking forward to developing him even further under our coaching staff.”
