Jordan Whitley brings proven pass-rush production to Samford’s defensive front
Jordan Whitley enters Samford with a track record that jumps off the page: in the 2022 season, he posted 85 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and 7 sacks, then followed his high school career at Legacy School of Sport Sciences with 34 tackles and 8 sacks. At 6-foot-1 and around 230 pounds, he profiles as a disruptive edge defender who plays with urgency and backfield impact. He’s a strong fit for a defense that wants a motor player who can pressure the quarterback, set the edge, and bring consistent physicality.
