High School Football Spotlight: T’Khi Jordan, Walnut Ridge

I was able to watch T’Khi Jordan and Walnut Ridge play three times this past season and he was able to overpower any player that was over top of himself and he showed that he had more than power to his game. He seemed to move well and was not slow for a man his size getting from point A to point B. He did seem to have that mean streak needed to play on the line but did so is a clean classy way. I think if this young man puts his mind into it on and off the field he will go very far not only on the field but in life.
