Eli Jordan '18 Recruiting Profile

I grew up in a Christian home going to church and playing ball.  I have always been involved in family oriented activities.  As a young football player I had a great group of coaches that taught me to love the game not just play it.  I had a learning disability at a young age.  I struggled in elementary school.  Football was the one place I excelled.  Football game me the work ethic to work my way out of my disability.

At the end of my freshman season I was promoted to the varsity team as starting long snapper.  During a game I tore my ACL.  I convinced my doctor and coach to return the next season and blew it again in the first game.  After the next surgery, I was more patient and returned as short snapper, and the 6th man lineman subbing in for guard and center,

My goal is to work in a marketing department for a college or professional team after graduation.  Teachers say I am a leader in the classroom.  I try to give back by coaching our middle school linemen.  I not only love playing football but preparing to play.
