  Draft Scout by Conference









  Georgia State's Jordan Strachan has grown accustomed to having his name mispronounced. He's heard it butchered every possible way. Emphasis on the first syllable. Emphasis on the last syllable. The silent "ch" pronounced like chainsaw or as a hard "K" sound like pecan. For the record, the name is pronounced "strahn," as in fawn or lawn. But it's perfectly OK to call him "Stretch," the moniker hung on him by a former strength coach who couldn't figure it out, either. "I've heard all types of stuff," he said. "I'm hoping to change that and get my name corrected." This week the junior spread his name on higher level when he was named the Sun Belt Conference's defensive player of the week. Strachan was instrumental in helping the Panthers defeat Troy 38-36 and earn their first road win against the Trojans. Strachan had four tackles, three for loss, 2.5 sacks, caused a fumble and recovered two fumbles - returning one 43 yards to set up a touchdown. Since his phone was dead, Strachan learned about the award from teammate Antavious Lane, who was given the same honor after Georgia State's win over East Carolina.

"After practice he came up and told me I got it," Strachan said. "It was shocking. Lot of hard work." The award was confirmation that Strachan had made a complete recovered from the torn left ACL he suffered last season just 17 plays into the historic win at Tennessee that began the 2019 season. "Had he not torn his ACL, he was going to have an extremely successful year for us," coach Shawn Elliott said. "He made so many plays in fall camp it wasn't a secret that he had the ability to create explosive defensive plays. He's worked extremely hard to get back, and now he's reaping the benefits." - Marietta Daily Journal
