As a senior, he averaged 13 points and 5.6 rebounds per game and was named to the Third-team All-American Athletic Conference.

Professional career

Originally projected as a second round pick, Jeffries went undrafted in the 2019 NBA draft. He signed with the Orlando Magic on June 21, 2019.[2] Reportedly, he declined a two-way deal in order to compete for a roster spot with the team.[3] On October 19, 2019, the Magic released Jeffries.[4]

Jeffries then signed a two-way contract with the Sacramento Kings on October 21, 2019.[5] Under the terms of the deal he will split time between the Kings and their NBA G League affiliate, the Stockton Kings. On December 13, Jeffries tallied 44 points, nine rebounds and two blocks for Stockton in a victory over the Sioux Falls Skyforce.[6] He suffered an undisclosed injury later in December.[7]
