USC WR commit Xavier Jordan sees another rise in the rankings
Last month, Los Angeles (Calif.) Sierra Canyon four-star wide receiver and USC commit Xavier Jordan became the top rated commit in the Trojans 2024 class. He has continually seen his rank and stock rise from the time his recruitment took off.
In the last update in July, Jordan was ranked as the No. 79 overall prospect in the On3 Industry Rankings.
With an update in the industry rankings, Jordan now ranks as the No. 59 overall prospect, a rise of 20 spots.
In the On300 rankings, Jordan is ranked as the No. 54 overall prospect.
On3 Prospect Evaluation of Jordan
“Highly skilled and coordinated receiver who was the most productive pass-catcher in the 2024 cycle as a junior. Has a thin, narrow frame, measuring at over 6-feet and around 160 pounds. Turned in a huge junior season, catching 83 passes for 1,626 yards and 20 touchdowns. Shows a very high skill level. Has some of the best ball skills we’ve evaluated in the 2024 cycle. Tracks the football effortlessly. Makes diving grabs at a high rate. Comes down with contested catches in traffic and elevates to win in jump ball situations.”
“A fluid, natural mover who projects as a strong route-runner. Uses pacing and tempo to separate within his routes. Runs with outstanding body lean. Posts strong agility marks in the combine setting, running a 4.19 second short shuttle and 6.99 second 3-cone at Under Armour’s Los Angeles camp. Backs up those marks with how he moves on the field. Registers solid speed, with a personal best of 11.09 in the 100 meters as a sophomore, with most times coming in the 11.2 range. A very high floor prospect given his skill level. Will need to fill out and continue to add mass and strength given his relative lack of size at this stage.”
