Takes back seat in opener Jordan tallied eight rushes for 48 yards during Saturday's 42-26 win versus San Jose State.

Impact King Miller looked like the bellcow back against San Jose State, but Jordan's limited touches were probably due to a conservative approach to his season-ending knee injury. With little need to overuse him against a weak opponent, Jordan's touches are likely to rise as the season continues.

Named co-starter for Week 0 Jordan is co-listed as a starter for Saturday's Week 0 game against San Jose State.

Impact The Trojans have yet to make a decision on who will start as the RB1 on Saturday, with both Jordan and King Miller listed as the co-starters. Jordan logged 88 rushing attempts for 576 yards and five touchdowns with the Trojans in 2025. He's expected to be fully healthy for the upcoming campaign.

Fully healthy for 2026 season Jordan (knee) is fully healthy for USC's 2026 season, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Nakos not only described Jordan as fully healthy but also as someone who "looks like he did last year" with USC, when he logged 88 rushing attempts for 576 yards and five touchdowns. The senior running back acclimated well to USC, and with both a year of experience under his belt and a top role in the Trojans' backfield, he could be among college football's top RBs during his 2026 season.

Impact Jordan underwent a cleanup procedure in March, which ruled him out for the rest of spring ball, but based on his recent comments, he's trending in the right direction. The next few weeks will be critical in determining whether Jordan will be ready to play in Week 0. After rushing for 576 yards and five scores on 6.5 yards per carry last season, Jordan is expected to be the Trojans' top ball-carrier if he's healthy.

Shut down for spring ball Jordan (knee) is out for the remainder of the Trojans' spring practice period, per Shotgun Spratling of 247Sports.com.

Impact Jordan reportedly had to have a cleanup procedure on his knee, and so the tailback is done for the rest of USC's spring practice. He's expected to be full-go by the summertime, so this shouldn't impact his availability for the regular season. After rushing for 576 yards and five scores on 6.5 yards per carry last season, Jordan is expected to be the Trojans' top ball-carrier.

Looks healthy for spring ball Jordan is looking good to go for spring ball, Chris Trevino of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Jordan missed six straight games to close out the Trojans' regular season, but he appears healthy now as spring ball gets underway. The 5-foot-10 running back recorded 88 carries for 576 yards and five touchdowns across his six outings in the 2025 campaign. He remains at the top of USC's depth chart ahead of his senior campaign.

DNP for bowl game Jordan (ankle) did not appear in Tuesday's bowl game against TCU.

Impact Jordan missed six consecutive games to close out the regular season, but the junior tailback was tabbed questionable for Tuesday's bowl game. The Trojans opted to keep their star tailback on the sidelines instead of risking further injury to his ankle or a new injury entirely. Jordan has already announced he'll be back with USC in 2026.

Questionable for Alamo Bowl Jordan (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against TCU.

Impact Jordan wasn't expected to play before the end of the 2025 season, but the questionable tag suggests the star tailback has a shot at suiting up Tuesday. Jordan, who already confirmed that he'll return to USC for the 2026 season, hasn't played since Week 7. He had 88 carries for 576 yards and five scores, as well as seven catches for 55 yards, in six games this season.

Set to return to USC in 2026 Jordan (ankle) will return to USC for the 2026 season, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.

Impact Jordan was on his way to moving up draft boards early in the year before an ankle injury sidelined him for the final six contests. Instead of trying his hand at the pros, it appears he's agreed to a new NIL deal with the Trojans and will run it back next season. King Miller has played pretty well in his stead, so it's unclear how the true freshman's emergence will impact Jordan's workload next season. Jordan has one more opportunity to retake the field in 2025 in USC's bowl game versus TCU.
