2027 Safety Jordan Holman Confirms Upcoming Trip to Missouri

Though listed as a safety by major recruiting outlets, Holman has actually played multiple positions throughout his high school career. He is ranked as the No. 36 safety in the class and the No. 5 player in Kentucky overall by 247Sports' composite ranking, but is open to playing anywhere he's needed.

The Woodford County product explained, "I’ve played three positions since I’ve been in high school. I'm listed at safety, but I don’t mind what position [coaches] put me at because if they think I’ll be a better fit for another position, then I’ll play there."

He says the Tigers' staff, specifically safeties coach Jacob Yoro and assistant director of player personnel for the defense Christian Heinz, reached out to him as early as they were able to, June 15.

"I first started talking to coach [Jacob] Yoro on June 15 when coaches were allowed to talk to 2027 recruits," he continued, "But I’ve recently been in contact with coach [Christian] Heinz. We have been talking almost every day."

Holman confirmed that he will be in Columbia for the Tigers' Week 7 matchup with the Alabama Crimson Tide, saying, "I will be attending the Bama game. The reason I picked that game is because they're one of the best college football teams, and I know it will be a really good game to watch."

"I just wanna talk to the coaches and get to know them. Show my face and just check out their facilities and football program," Holman said.

The Tigers' do not hold any commitments thus far in the 2027 recruiting class, but will likely be in need of a strong performance due to an underwhelming 2026 group which consists of just ten players.
