Jordan Johnson brings Buffalo a local legend’s edge — tough, versatile, and coach-made for physical football
In his 2026 role as Buffalo’s running backs coach, Jordan Johnson is shaping a room with the same rugged, team-first energy that made him an All-MAC back for the Bulls, where he rushed for 2,212 career yards and ranked eighth in program history. The big takeaway: he’s a Buffalo native, a proven local fit, and someone who knows how to build a complete back—less flash, more reliability, toughness, and details. If you want a program identity guy who can connect with players and coach physical, disciplined football, he’s a strong fit.
