Sure Jefferson was a nationalist in the 1780s while in Congress. He was so much one that he even proposed not allowing new states admission into the Union if they wanted slavery. He also wrote the Ordinance banning slavery in the Northwest Territories.
He and Madison split from Hamilton and Washington because of their inability to understand economics and finance more than disagreements about the federal Union. All totally agreed that the Union must be preserved at all costs and that without it the States were doomed.

Actually, those differences arose primarily between Hamilton and Washington. But don't let actual history stop you, you never have before. "Jefferson the Nationalist" - really, now. lol.
