Jordan Mendoza brings size, toughness, and steady interior depth to Marist’s defensive front
Jordan Mendoza is a 6-foot-3, 278-pound defensive lineman for Marist who has grown from a reserve into a reliable, physical presence; in the 2025 season, he played in 11 games and made 10 starts, finishing with 12 tackles and a half-tackle for loss, while his earlier Marist seasons showed gradual impact growth and even a half-sack in 2024. He looks like a fit for teams that value consistency, gap discipline, and a blue-collar mentality over flash—plus his background as a three-time team captain and all-conference high school standout suggests strong leadership and competitiveness.
