  12/11/20 - RB Ty JordanSo/2024, Utah

  Ty Jordan was always passionate about football, but didn't have much, if any background in track and field. That changed not long after Jordan arrived at West Mesquite High School, roughly 15 miles outside of Dallas, in the fall of 2016. "It was told to me my freshman year, 'You gotta start running track, it's going to help you with football,'" the University of Utah freshman running back told reporters on a Zoom call Tuesday morning. "Me being so passionate about football, this is going to make me better, make me faster, make me a better athlete, then hey, this is what I'm going to do."

As a running back standing 5-foot-7, sprinting was a natural fit for Jordan, who was named Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Week Monday after rushing for 167 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries in the Utes' 30-24 win over Oregon State Saturday night. Not only was the 100-meter dash a good fit for Jordan, despite not training in the event year-round in a state that is never short on elite sprinters, Jordan managed to excel. Jordan ran a personal-best 10.52 as a junior at West Mesquite after going 10.83 or better eight times as a sophomore. For a football player moonlighting as a sprinter, Jordan was no slouch at 200 meters, either, hitting a personal-best 22.06 as a sophomore. "Track, training for track, getting that speed in, really helped my game," Jordan said. "It allows me to do certain things that I wouldn't normally be able to do without it." - Salt Lake Tribune
