Bethune-Cookman University's Jordan looking to expand role

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- Last year, Bethune-Cookman running back Anthony Jordan showed flashes of what he can do. This season, Wildcats fans will likely get a chance to see the whole package.

"He's having a real good spring," B-CU coach Brian Jenkins said. "He's probably made bigger strides than anybody at his position."

Jordan was primarily the Wildcats' goal-line back in 2011, leading the team with nine touchdowns. But the 5-foot-11, 230-pound redshirt freshman also showed off some moves in the open field, highlighted by his 27-yard run against Miami in which he ran over safety Vaughn Telemaque on a first-and-23 to set up a first-quarter touchdown that put B-CU ahead 7-0.



"(My parents) called me (after the game)," Jordan said. "They were excited about it, so that made me excited."

Jordan had seven carries for 49 yards against the 'Canes. But in seven games, he carried the ball four times or less. He finished the year fifth on the team in rushing with 235 yards on 50 carries.
