Position: Defensive Specialist - Jhordan is the solid anchor in the back row for the Badgers. A natural leader, Jhordan was a part-time starter last year.

Pre-Game Rituals: Jhordan calls her Dad either before or after every game. "Motivation, advice, you know that sort of thing," says Jhordan.

Why I Play Volleyball: Looks to her brother as an inspiration. Jhordan's brother is currently serving an LDS church mission and plays football at BYU.

Family: Jhordan considers herself strong-willed and family oriented. She is the second oldest of three brothers and one sister.

Getting To Know Jhordan Better: Jhordan was born in Kahuku, Hawaii and spent her high school years at Timpanagous High. Jhordan is fun loving and she enjoys her experience at Snow College and playing for Coach Calles. Her favorite volleyball moment was playing outside hitter in high school and "hitting over the coach!". Jhordan believes that if she could change one thing in the world she would abolish poverty so that everyone could live with equal opportunity.
