Young local talent aiming to make his own mark in the Oklahoma Sooners secondary as he competes for starting job in fall camp

Tulsa's own Devon Jordan aiming to start in 2025

Devon Jordan, a three-star recruit in the class of 2024, played his high school career right down the road from Norman, Oklahoma, playing for Union High School in Tulsa. Jordan was the fourth-ranked player in the state that year and the 36th-ranked cornerback in the class.

Despite his low ranking from the recruiting services, he's already made quite a name for himself on campus and has made his mark in the battle for the starting cornerback job opposite of Eli Bowen.

Jordan played in four games as a freshman last year, appearing against Temple, Texas, South Carolina, and Maine, and totaled just 42 snaps on defense while seeing regular action on special teams.

If Jordan does win the starting job, he would be the second starting cornerback the Sooners plucked from the class of 2024, joining Bowen. Oddly enough, both of their starting cornerbacks would be three-star recruits from the same class, which feels like a remarkable coincidence.

So far, the battle is far, far too early to tell who will emerge victorious here. However, don't be shocked to see this homegrown Oklahoma talent become a major player for the Sooners in 2025 and beyond.
