COACH RIVAS-SANDOVAL SAYS: “Jordan has all of the athletic potential of any top-level wide receiver in the RMAC. He has displayed to me through the recruiting process that he is motivated to come into camp and compete to be a major factor in our offensive output this season. One of the best things about Jordan is his humility and lack of ego in that he wants to be a part of a productive group, he wants to be a part of changing the culture of FLC football, and he wants to be a part of helping us win. Jordan has already competed at the top-level of college football at Michigan State and knows what it takes to be successful. We’re looking to have that be contagious with his new teammates. He has shown me up to this point that he truly wants to be a part of something special; a place where he can make a difference.”
