USC WR commit Xavier Jordan sees large rise in NIL valuation
Earlier this month, top-100 wide receiver Xavier Jordan was invited to the All-American Bowl hosted by NBC Sports. Also this month, Jordan saw a large rise in his NIL valuation.
Jordan is the No. 60 overall prospect and No. 12 wide receiver in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 6 player in California.
Coming into the month, Jordan had a NIL valuation of $130K, but in August, it rose to $144K, a 12% increase.
A $14K increase is one of the biggest jumps you’ll see from one month to the next.
Jordan now has the highest NIL valuation of the 15 USC commitments in the 2024 class. He is now also No. 91 in the high school NIL ranks.
In his junior season, Jordan was one of the most productive wide receivers in high school football.
In 13 games played, Jordan racked up 83 receptions, 1,626 receiving yards with 20 touchdowns. He averaged 125.1 yards per game and 19.6 yards per reception.
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.”
On3 Pro Comparison – Chris Olave
“Xavier Jordan’s frame, silky smooth movement skills and route running along with his high level of production remind us of Chris Olave.”
