Jeffson Lafontant is a sturdy, disruptive interior piece with real upside for UCF
In the 2025 season, Jeffson Lafontant gave UCF useful rotational snaps at defensive tackle, finishing with 11 total tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks in 10 games after transferring from Bethune-Cookman[1][5]. At 6-foot-3, 295 pounds, he brings legitimate interior mass, some pass-rush juice for an inside lineman, and the kind of shot-put power that shows up in his leverage and pop off the ball[1][5]. He looks like a solid fit for a depth role or a rotation-heavy front, especially if a team wants a high-motor, physical tackle who can sneak into the backfield and not just eat space[5][11].
