“I chose Tennessee because the school is surrounded by people who love football and I feel that they can make me a better person and player,” Jordan said. “Also at Tennessee it’s like a family with the players everybody pushes every other to be the best they can be.”

The former Western Kentucky pledge chose Tennessee over North Carolina and Purdue.
