One of many successful field goals during Jordan's collegiate career.

Jordan's Player Biography:

Jordan was a soccer player his entire life and walked onto a Big 10 Division 1 football program at the University of Minnesota. He earned a full scholarship under Coach Jerry Kill the last two years of school, along with the starting job. After completing his senior season, he went straight to the Arena Football League playing for the Green Bay Blizzard in the hopes it would help his chances at the next level. Jordan retired halfway through the 2013 season to focus on his training for the NFL, in which he received calls and workouts from the Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, and Kansas City Chiefs.

He now resides in San Fransisco, CA and offers football kicking lessons to High School, Youth and Collegiate specialists through Special Teams Football Academy.
