Eastern Michigan held their Pro Day on March 13th, with nine Eastern athletes, a former EMU athlete and a guest athlete from Northwestern Oklahoma State (Windsor, Ontario native Muftah Ageli) performing in front of pro scouts. Of note, linebacker JT Killen was unable to perform due to an injury.

Scouts from seven NFL teams were confirmed to be in attendance, per Canada’s 3DownNation.

EDGE Justin Jefferson

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NOV 02 Toledo at Eastern Michigan

Elevator Pitch:

If you’re asking, there’s no relation to the Minnesota Vikings receiver. EMU’s Justin Jefferson, a Chicago native, was a productive edge rusher for the Eagles over four seasons. Elected a team captain as a senior, Jefferson finished the 2024 campaign with 36 tackles, 4.5 tackles-for-loss, four sacks and a blocked kick. 2023 was Jefferson’s most productive season, with 46 tackles, 7.5 TFLs and 3.5 sacks. He finishes his career with 121 tackles, 12.5 TFLs, 7.5 sacks, three fumble recoveries, a forced fumble, two passes defensed and a blocked kick. Jefferson, despite his size, played primarily defensive end as a “LEO” backer, which makes for an intriguing question regarding his fit at the pro level.
