Sam Pittman recruited Jefferson to Arkansas. Arkansas has added senior Cameron Jefferson to its Class of 2014.

Jefferson, 6-6, 320, was a captain for UNLV last season and is a three-year letterman. He has experience starting at left guard, left tackle and right tackle. He played his high school football at Desert Oasis High School in Las Vegas, Nev. Jefferson was slated to start at right tackle this fall before opting to transfer to Arkansas. Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema is pleased to add an impact recruit to help this fall.

“We're thrilled to add Cameron Jefferson to the Razorback football program,” said Bielema. “As we continue to build our recruiting classes over the next few years, we will add players who fit academically, athletically and socially. He comes from a football family with his father playing in the NFL and he worked his way into becoming an anchor for the line at UNLV. We look forward to seeing the impact he will have at Arkansas.”

He is eligible to transfer from UNLV with immediate eligibility since their APR score is low enough the NCAA ruled the team ineligible for a bowl game this season. As a redshirt freshman in 2011, he played in all 12 games and started the final seven at left guard. Then as a sophomore he started all 13 games, but played guard and tackle.

Jefferson's father, William Jefferson, played professional football with the Cleveland Browns and in the CFL after a very successful college career at Maryland.

Jefferson was recruited by Arkansas' Sam Pittman and officially visited the Razorbacks this past week. He arrived at Arkansas late Tuesday night and then left on Thursday.
