Layton Jordan remains Temple’s disruptive, versatile front-seven chess piece
In the 2022 season, Layton Jordan was Temple’s defensive wrecking ball: 53 tackles, 9.0 sacks, 18.5 tackles for loss, 2 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles and a school-record 3 defensive touchdowns, earning second-team All-AAC honors; in 2023, his production dipped to more of a depth role, but reports from Temple’s Pro Day described him as fluid, versatile, and better moving in space, which matters for teams that want an edge rusher who can also cover and create turnovers. If you value playmaking juice, instincts, and big-moment upside, he’s worth a hard look.
