Plymouth 2016 OC Michael Jordan has declared for the 2019 NFL Draft (Story)

Plymouth 2016 OC/OG Michael Jordan has declared for the NFL draft on Friday afternoon, just several days removed from OSU winning their Rose Bowl game.

Jordan committed to the Buckeyes out of high school between, Michigan and Michigan State.

Per Ohio State's athletic department: Michael Jordan is one of the top offensive linemen in the Big Ten Conference and now, as a true junior who has started every game the past two years, should start to receive national recognition as one of the top players at his position … a starter since game No. 1 of his freshman campaign in 2016, Jordan has now started 27 consecutive games for the Buckeyes, including all 14 games for the 2017 Big Ten and Cotton Bowl champions … he was named first-team all-Big Ten in 2017 by the league’s coaches and was named a game “champion” by OSU coaches 11 times, including offensive player of the game honors vs. Illinois … helped the Buckeye offense lead the Big Ten in rushing for a third consecutive season at 243.2 yards per game (17th nationally) … Jordan was an early enrollee into classes at Ohio State in January 2016 and worked his way into the starting lineup – and stayed – midway through 2016 spring drills … started all 13 games at right guard and helped the team rank 11th nationally and first in the Big Ten in rushing at 245.2 yards per game in 2016 … is majoring in consumer and family financial services, and he completed a 180-hour internship this summer with Munster Financial.

Notable: In 2016, Jordan was the first true freshman to start along the Ohio State offensive line in 23 years, or since Orlando Pace did so in 1994. He is one of only six Ohio State Buckeyes to start an opening game as a true freshman.
