New Blazer head coach JD Okuniewski says “Jordan is finally the older guy in the offensive line room. He has been a starter since he was a sophomore and has learned from guys like Brian Hollis, Colin Leahy, Tony Rulli and Jesse Smith. He is taking on a leadership role and is working diligently as a team leader. He is a three sport athlete and still makes time to be around the guys at workouts.”
Those are all good traits to have for a lineman. There are several more reasons Jordan should excel in 2023. He has a non stop motor and can move people.
