A Long Island story
Jordan spent part of his childhood in Farmingdale before moving to Arizona, where he starred at Hamilton High in Chandler. At Louisville he ran for 1,128 yards and 13 touchdowns in his final season, second in the ACC, while playing through a hamstring injury.
Houston took him in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 205th overall. Last season he ran for 193 yards on 43 carries in four games. Now he has a touchdown on an international stage.
Long Island shows up everywhere, even across the pond. Keep it locked to WLIT.FM.
