Missouri Western cornerback Michael Jordan has been named to the American Football Coaches Association All-America team.

The junior from St. Louis is the first Griffon to make the team since Michael Hill in 2012. Jordan was also a first-team All-MIAA selection for the second straight year and was named to the DAKTRONICS All-Super Region 3 second team.

Jordan’s 16 passes defended were tops in the MIAA. He also tied for the MIAA lead with four interceptions this season. He took one of those interceptions back 39 yards for a touchdown at Washburn. He was the MIAA Freshman of the year and an honorable mention pick in 2012.

Jordan is one of three MIAA players on the team, joining Nebraska-Kearney offensive lineman Cole Manhart and Northwest Missouri State defensive lineman Matt Longacre as AFCA All-Americans.
