Declares for NFL Draft Jordan announced Wednesday that he will be declaring for 2024 NFL Draft.

Impact The 5-foot-10 running back spent one season with Syracuse before transferring and playing out three seasons with the Cardinals. Jordan was an important contributor of the offense during the 2023 season, totaling 181 carries for 1,128 yards and 13 touchdowns while also reeling in 21 receptions for 246 yards and one score.

Tough sledding in loss Jordan recorded 14 rushes for 52 yards and reeled in 3 of 4 targets for 21 yards during Saturday's 16-6 loss versus Florida State.

Impact Jordan and the Louisville running game struggled mightily against the stout Florida State defense. With a third-string quarterback under center the Seminoles stifled the Louisville rushing attack holding them to just 77 yards rushing and Jordan to 3.7 yards per carry.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Two touchdowns in loss Jordan compiled 17 rushes for 67 yards and two touchdowns and reeled in all three targets for 25 yards during Saturday's 38-31 defeat against Kentucky.

Impact Jordan led the way in the Louisville backfield Saturday as he received 20 touches compared to 16 for backfield running-mate Isaac Guerendo. Jordan made the most of the slight advantage in touches as he was able to find the endzone twice.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Two touchdowns in loss Jordan compiled 17 rushes for 67 yards and two touchdowns and reeled in all three targets for 25 yards during Saturday's 38-31 defeat against Kentucky.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Little action in win Jordan logged nine carries for 33 yards and gathered in their only target for seven yards during Saturday's 38-31 victory versus Miami (FL).

Impact For the second time in three games second string back Isaac Guerendo has led the Cardinals in rushing. Since the slight injury to Jordan a few weeks back the Cardinals have gone to a "roll with the hot hand" approach to their backfield as both Jordan and Guerendo are getting upticks in volume situationally over the past four games.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leading rusher in win Jordan totaled 17 rushes for 95 yards and gathered in 2 of 3 targets for 15 yards during Thursday's 31-24 victory versus Virginia.

Impact After missing a portion of last week's contest against Virginia Tech, Jordan was in full force on Thursday as he received 17 carries for an average of 5.6 yards per carry.

NOVEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially a game-time decision Jordan (hamstring) will be a game-time decision for Louisville in its tilt with Virginia, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jordan is reportedly expected to suit up and attempt to play. He was previously listed as probable heading into Thursday night, and it does appear that the tailback is trending towards playing. Jordan has been a monster for the resurgent Cardinals this season, logging 881 yards and 11 touchdowns on a whopping 7.1 yards-per-carry.

NOVEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Jordan has been getting as ready as possible with the expectation of suiting up against the Cavaliers. The redshirt junior logged 22 snaps in last week's victory but was reported to have gotten nicked up during the match. He split work with Isaac Guerendo, who could see more opportunities should the 5-foot-10 back miss time or is limited.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Totals 14 carries in lopsided win Jordan (hamstring) finished with 14 carries for 57 yards and two catches for four yards in Saturday's 34-3 win over Virginia Tech.

Impact Head coach Jeff Brohm mentioned after Saturday's win that Jordan is nicked up in multiple spots and tried to give it a go despite not being 100 percent. The Cardinals will have a quick turnaround against Virginia on Nov. 9 and it'll be worth monitoring if Jordan is able to head into the game at full health. Isaac Guerendo had 11 carries for 146 yards in Saturday's victory and would be the main beneficiary if Jordan is limited at all.

NOVEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joins teammates in warmups Jordan (hamstring) joined his team late for warmups ahead of Saturday's game versus Virginia Tech, Alexis Cubit of The Louisville Courier-Journal reports.

Impact Jordan was initially reported as absent, but he then joined warmups a bit after the fact. While he may not be 100 percent, it seems Jordan may have a shot to give it a go Saturday. Isaac Guerendo and Maurice Turner are options to see any carries Jordan can't handle.

NOVEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
