Former LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson will join the Omaha Mammoths when they start preparations Sept. 26 for the inaugural FXFL season.

Jefferson and former North Dakota State quarterback Brock Jensen were among 15 players on a partial Mammoths roster released to The World-Herald on Thursday night.

Donnie Woods, the Mammoths’ vice president and general manager, said Omaha tentatively has 31 players lined up and will finalize its 40-man roster over the weekend. The Fall Experimental Football League season starts Oct. 8, with Omaha playing host to the Boston Brawlers at TD Ameritrade Park.

Woods said better than 90 percent of the Omaha roster will be players who recently spent time in National Football League training camps.

“We have secured a solid group of young talent coming from the NFL,” he said. “We are excited about how the roster is taking shape and are looking forward to the start of camp.”

Jefferson most recently had a rookie mini-camp tryout with the New Orleans Saints. He spent last year with the Pittsburgh Power of the Arena League, and also was briefly in the Canadian Football League after his final season at LSU in 2011.
