Lisa's answers are excellent. There's one more option.
If you want to emphasise that he's still jealous you could say:
"Dave admitted he is jealous of his younger brother"

It depends which part of the sentence happened yesterday.
Dave made the admission yesterday, and the jealousy is ongoing:
"Dave admitted to being jealous of his younger brother."
Dave made the admission just now, but the jealousy occurred yesterday:
"Dave admits he was jealous of his younger brother."
I hope that helps!
