Michigan State has added a new piece to Mel Tucker’s coaching staff, adding Brandon Jordan to a position as a pass-rush specialist. It was previously reported that Jordan would be working with the defensive ends of the Spartans.
Jordan was previously working as a private coach training both offensive and defensive linemen. Now, he’ll bring his talents to East Lansing.
Tucker praised the hiring on Saturday as a “cutting edge hire” that will help propel Michigan State’s defense:
I am extremely excited to have @CoachBTJordan join our family. This is a cutting edge hire that will propel the program. I can’t wait to get to work 🪓 #ChopLife https://t.co/9oMxdIrZl9
