Jeffrey M'ba, a 27-year-old defensive lineman from Gabon, has joined the Washington Commanders as an undrafted free agent. The former SMU player brings a unique background and physical tools to the team after a winding path to professional football.
M'ba grew up moving between Gabon, France and Cameroon before arriving in the United States at age 18. He attended high school in Baltimore and Connecticut, then played college football at Auburn, Purdue and SMU. At SMU he posted a strong 2025 season and impressed at the Senior Bowl, yet went undrafted due to his age and limited experience in the sport.
