Scout's profile is a bit dated.  Jordan is ranked 102# nationally at WR, 3-star. Here is Scout's sophomore evaluation:
Areas for improvement: " Downfield threat"Â and "strength".
But, his offers weren't only from Lutheran Bible College-like schools. He had 11 other offers, including an upper tier of Mich St., Boston College, Houston, Maryland. Arkansas and , notably, "local" school Texas Tech did not offer. Second tier schools offering included: UConn, Duke, Kansas, N. Texas, Tulsa, Toledo and Buffalo. Odd there was not more Texas interest, but it's a talent-rich state. That pass-happy Houston saw something is somewhat encouraging. That ex-Houston coach Sumlin didn't then turn around and offer Jordan a chance to play at Texas A&M kind of tempers that view. Rivals gave Jordan 3 stars, but didn't bother to rank him by position nationally or in the state. Looked more like a placeholder in the database. Worse, a search on ESPN's database found no responses for Dontonio Jordan. Might be pilot error, but between ESPN, Rivals and old data on Scout...let's hope Jordan is just full of surprises for the HS recruiting establishment.
Quote:Average sized receiver, he has some time to get a bit bigger but he has probably topped out. Very good with passes in the flats where he gets the ball and takes off. Does not have a lot of side to side moves, pretty much a straight line runner. Passes down field he is slow to turn upfield and that costs him chances for bigger gains. Good hands.
