Long, Freshman Forward with Real Upside for Howard Payne
Will Jefferson, a 6'7" freshman forward for Howard Payne in the 2025-26 season, has flashed a useful inside-out skill set and size that gives the Yellow Jackets a bigger wing-forward look. In limited 2025-26 action, he has already shown he can stretch the floor a bit and finish chances while fitting into a deeper rotation, which makes him intriguing as a developmental piece rather than a finished product. The fit question is simple: if a team wants length, effort, and upside, Jefferson is worth watching; if it needs immediate high-volume production, he is still more of a project.
