Jordan returned to the Lions as a free agent on February 15, 2023. He was the club’s seventh-round selection (60th overall) in the 2017 CFL Draft and suited up in 53 games over three seasons before moving to the Saskatchewan Roughriders ahead of the 2021 campaign.

Highlights:

2021-22: Jordan signed with the Saskatchewan

2019: Continuing to see action both on defence and special teams, Jordan made five starts at middle linebacker over the span of 16 games played in 2019. The third-year Leo recorded 37 tackles while adding another eight stops  on special teams along with a sack and a forced fumble

2018: Jordan came into his own during his second season with the Lions. The former SFU star appeared in all 18 regular season games, starting 11 games at linebacker for BC. Jordan posted a career high 56 defensive tackles and two sacks during the regular season. He continued to be a strong performer on special teams, placing second on the club with 17 special teams tackles. Jordan made his postseason debut against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the East Division Semi-Final, ending with four tackles.

2017: Jordan had a very effective rookie season for the Lions, dressing in all 18 regular season contests and serving primarily on special teams. Herdman notched 19 special teams tackles in 2017, good for the second-highest tally on the team behind only Chandler Fenner’s 27. Remarkably, he had at least one special teams tackle in 14 of the 18 games. Jordan also recorded a pair of tackles on defence while serving as the primary backup to Solomon Elimimian at middle linebacker for much of the season.

College:

2013-16: Easily the most productive defensive player in the history of the SFU program, Jordan was twice named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year. The Winnipeg, MB native set numerous GNAC records during his four-year career, including the all-time marks in tackles (428) and assisted tackles (223). Jordan is also the proud owner of the single game conference records for total tackles and solo stops with 26 and 17, respectively. He was named a member of the Division II All-America second team in each of his final two years and also earned a spot on the GNAC All-Academic Team in three consecutive seasons.
