ST. JOSEPH – Missouri Western cornerback Mike Jordan has been named an American Football Coaches Association All-American, becoming the first Griffon to earns the honor twice while at MWSU.

The senior cornerback is the only representative of the MIAA on the team and he is one of six repeat selections. Jordan was named a unanimous First Team All-MIAA selection, as well as First Team All-Super Region Three by the College Commissioner’s Association. Jordan is also a nominee for the Cliff Harris award, given to the nation’s top small college defensive player and has received invites to the East-West Shrine Bowl and the NFLPA Bowl.

The St. Louis native wrapped up his Griffon career as a three-time first team All-MIAA selection and four time member of the All-MIAA team. In 2012, Jordan was honored as the MIAA Freshman of the year. In 2015, Jordan totaled 41 tackles with a team-high five interceptions, 17 pass break ups and 22 passes defended (2nd in the nation).
