Football Senior Salute: Ladarius Jordan
7/31/2020
Although he only appeared on the field in four games, Ladarius Jordan played a crucial role in helping the Memphis Tigers appear in four bowl games during his time in the Bluff City, including the 84th Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Dec. 28, 2019. A native of Memphis, Jordan aspired to play for his hometown team.
This past season, Jordan had the opportunity to step on the field against Ole Miss in the season opener, on the road at South Alabama and again vs Navy on Sept. 26. Prior to the Cotton Bowl, Jordan graduated with a degree in interdisciplinary studies.
I'm from Memphis, so I grew up watching the Tigers. My dad played here. Being a part of this team is a dream come true, and I will always be a Tiger. I have had so many great moments being in the locker room with the team. We're always just cutting up with each other, laughing, playing around. After I graduate, I plan on coaching with my father. He's a coach here in the city. I want to coach my little brother.Ladarius Jordan in the Nov. 29 Memphis Game Day Program
