"Jordan gives us the scoring mentality and creativity that makes our offense go from both guard positions," said head coach Gary Blair. "She came in on her official visit and fit in like she had been here for yearsshe loves the school, her new teammates and the style of basketball that we play."

"She knows what winning is all about, from high school, her summer program, Notre Dame, USA Basketball and now Texas A&M," added Blair. "After sitting out a season, she will be ready to make an impact during the 2020-21 season."
