GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- A second Florida player has confirmed that he has been invited to the NFL Combine after junior Vosean Joseph announced that he will be attending on Tuesday morning.

Senior CeCe Jefferson wrote on his Facebook page that he will be attending the 2019 NFL Combine.

"Blessed to say that I will be representing Macclenny and the University of Florida at the 2019 NFL Combine," Jefferson wrote. "Best birthday gift!"

Jefferson, who turned 23 on Tuesday, is one of Florida's highest-rated recruits in the last decade. He was ranked as the No. 7 overall prospect in the 2015 recruiting class, the last five-star prospect the Gators have landed according to the 247Composite, an industry-generated recruiting ranking.

He had a very productive career at Florida, racking up 123 tackles, 34.5 tackles for a loss and 10.5 sacks during his four years with the Gators. He also broke up four passes and forced two fumbles, while recovering another fumble.

While Jefferson played a complementary role to fellow rush end Jachai Polite in 2018, he still offers some upside as a potential outside linebacker in the NFL. Due to his size at 6 foot 1, 252 pounds, that's most likely where he'll end up playing in the NFL.

Jefferson opted to return for his senior season at Florida because he didn't feel like he was ready as a player to turn pro after the 2017 campaign.

Scouts reportedly tended to agree, with Jefferson's tweener size hurting him a bit.

According to NFL teams' preseason data provided by team sources, Jefferson checks in at 6-foot-1, 241-pounds with 33.63 inch arms, 9.63 inch hands, and a wingspan of 81.75 inches. They have him running the 40-yard dash in 4.70 seconds. In 2017, Jefferson notched 47 tackles with 13.5 tackles for a loss and 4.5 sacks. Sources weren't impressed with Jefferson and felt he should return to Florida for 2018, but in the spring of 2018, he did grade out with a projection of being a potential prospect for the first four rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft by the advance NFL scouts. Jefferson should be a candidate to move to 3-4 outside linebacker at the next level. Jefferson flashed for Florida over the previous two seasons as part of a rotation. As a freshman in 2015, he had 29 tackles with 8.5 tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble. Jefferson didn't take the next step as a sophomore with 30 tackles, 6.5 for a loss and 1.5 sacks. The senior is capable of breaking out in 2018. His body type could make him more of a 3-4 outside linebacker in the NFL rather than a defensive end.

Unfortunately for Jefferson, that breakout never really occurred. He finished his senior season with just 18 tackles, 6.0 tackles for a loss, a sack, a fumble recovery, four quarterback hurries and a safety.

He'll likely need to post some strong numbers at the NFL Combine to lift his name higher in the NFL Draft conversation.
