Tennessee was the first school to offer Jordan a scholarship on May 6, 2024. He will officially visit Tennessee on Sept. 26.
Other schools to offer Jordan scholarships include Arizona State, Texas Tech, Tennessee State, Alabama A&M, Missouri, Memphis, Indiana, Auburn, Louisiana, Miami, BYU, Baylor and West Virginia.
