Amare Jordan brings downhill toughness and disruptive range to Northwestern’s linebacker room
Amare Jordan is a 6-foot-1, 210-pound Class of 2026 linebacker from Vista Ridge (Cedar Park, Texas) who signed with Northwestern after posting 59 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks as a senior in the 2025 season. He fits the profile of a physical, active inside linebacker: productive in the run game, comfortable around the ball, and athletic enough that he also competed in track and field. The bigger sell is his upside—Northwestern clearly sees a development piece with the toughness and motor to grow into Big Ten football.
