Willie Jordan is a dominant running back out of Northside-Warner Robins and has started the season off with a bang. In his first two games, he has run for nearly 250 yards and five touchdowns. Four of the five touchdowns came in the first half against Veterans. Willie was not used much in his sophomore year, even though he had the second-highest yards per carry on his team for players with more than 10 carries. His small sample size has been enough to impress some colleges, and he will surely bring more attention as the season goes on.
Willie went to a camp at the University of Florida this summer, and plans on attending a lot more this summer. “I’ll go to a lot more this year to kind of get my name out there,” said Willie. His play speaks for itself, but he’ll go the extra mile to make sure that schools understand his value to their team. The University of South Carolina is ahead of the curve as the Gamecocks are already in contact with Willie about recruitment. His 3.2 GPA makes him an even more valuable recruit to any higher learning institution.
“I want to be a coach someday,” Willie says, “So I think I’ll work in sports management to get there.”
When asked about his free time activities, Willie landed right back on sports.
“I like to work out and see what I can do to work on my game,” Willie said, “I’m also trying to stay focused on my grades. All my life I’m trying to succeed.”
His work ethic has been apparent on and off the field, and Willie is one of the leaders of a perennial state championship contender.
