Kubectl query for regex in JsonPath - kubernetes

Question

I am trying to output the value for .metadata.name followed by the student's name in .spec.template.spec.containers[].students[] array using the regex in JsonPath for a Kubectl query.
I had actually asked a similar question linked here for this in jq.
How do I print a specific value of an array given a condition in jq if there is no key specified
The solution worked but I am wondering if there is an alternative solution for it using JsonPath or go-template perhaps (without the need for using jq).
For example, if I check the students[] array if it contains the word "Jeff", I would like the output to display as below:
student-deployment: Jefferson
What I've tried:
For JsonPath, I've tried the query below:
kubectl get deployment -o=jsonpath="{range .items[?(#.spec.template.spec.containers[*].students[*])]}{'\n'}{.metadata.name}{':\t'}{range .spec.template.spec.containers[*]}{.students[?(#=="Jefferson")]}{end}{end}"
But this only works to evaluate for matching words. Would it be possible to use JsonPath to query for regex as I've read here that JsonPath regex =~ doesn't work? I did try to use | grep and findstr but it still returned all values inside the array back to me. Other than jq, is there another way to retrieve the regex output?

The deployment template below is in json and I shortened it to only the relevant parts.
{
"apiVersion": "v1",
"items": [
{
"apiVersion": "apps/v1",
"kind": "Deployment",
"metadata": {
"name": "student-deployment",
"namespace": "default"
},
"spec": {
"template": {
"spec": {
"containers": [
{
"students": [
"Alice",
"Bob",
"Peter",
"Sally",
"Jefferson"
]
}
]
}
}
}
}
]
}

The documentation for JSONPath Support clearly describes that it is not possible with JSONPath and you can use jq.
