Collegiate defensive coordinators love big versatile defensive backs who can help shut down explosive offenses. Out of Georgia’s North Gwinnett High School, teams are catching onto Chandler Jordan. The 2025 prospect can line up anywhere in the secondary, and has the wanted size (6-3, 188) and speed (11.2) to blanket elite receivers. Louisville has offered with other ACC and SEC teams taking a deeper look.
The offer for Jordan came while visiting the Cardinals.
“It was at dinner,” Jordan said. “Their recruiting coordinator came up to me and was making small talk. Then their defensive coordinator came up to me, shook my hand, and he broke the news there. It was very enjoyable. He told me we are offering you. I wasn’t expecting the offer before going on that visit. It was a special moment for me.”

The Cardinals’ staff gave Jordan the full treatment while on campus for the spring game.
“I toured the facility and did the photo shoot the day of the spring game,” Jordan shared. “They measured me. I also went to the player’s lounge, to the dinner, and then watched the spring game.”
The list of teams evaluating Jordan is growing.
“I was just followed by Georgia Tech and Florida State coaches,” Jordan stated. “I have been talking to other schools, talking to their recruiting coaches. Kentucky and UMass, they talked to my coaches about me, and talked to me for a bit.”
Because of his versatility, Jordan was asked how college coaches are seeing him fit in their secondary.
“I pride myself on being versatile, they don’t really specify on the position,” Jordan said. “They have a general idea as a DB – corner, free safety, and strong safety. I haven’t had anyone say we see you as a corner or safety yet. And I am still growing. I am open to play wherever.”
North Gwinnett draws a crowd during spring ball. Jordan shared some of the programs that will be on the sidelines during upcoming practices, “I was told Louisville is coming, Kentucky is usually there, and Ohio State, Georgia State, Kansas, and Florida.”
