4-Star TE Brevin Jordan Commits to Miami over Michigan, USC, Others

Brevin Jordan, a 4-star tight end from Bishop Gorman high school in Las Vegas, committed to the Miami Hurricanes.

Jordan announced his choice Sunday:

Jordan, who is considered the top tight end prospect in the Class of 2018 and the No. 44 player overall from Scout.com, registered 27 receptions for 501 yards and nine touchdowns in 2016. He helped lead a Bishop Gorman team that was named the Super 25 high school national champions for the third straight year by USA Today.

Bishop Gorman has won 54 straight games and eight consecutive state titles in Nevada.

In its scouting report of Jordan, ESPN Insider (subscription required) noted, "Tall enough with good length and speed. Explodes off the line. Fluid athlete with the body control to make difficult catches away frame his frame. Possesses strong, natural hands. Not afraid to mix it up in the run game as a blocker."

At 6'2" and 224 pounds, Jordan doesn't yet have the traditional build of an in-line tight end, though he does possess the athleticism to perhaps translate initially as a flex tight end who isn't asked to block as frequently.

Once he fills at that frame, however, Jordan projects to be a complete option at the position.

With David Njoku moving on to the NFL, the Hurricanes will need a new starting tight end in 2017. Christopher Herndon is the likeliest candidate to replace Njoku after catching 28 passes for 334 yards and two touchdowns last season.

Njoku's departure could still allow Jordan to see time immediately as a true freshman before he assumes a larger role in Miami's offense down the line.
