Jordan Burch plays college football for the Oregon Ducks as the defensive end for the squad. He started his college football career in 2020 and has committed to Oregon one more time and skipped the 2024 NFL draft. Burch announced his decision to return to Oregon via X and captioned “#1 more,” with a duck emoji.
Before the Ducks, Burch played three years of college football for the South Carolina Gamecocks. In his true freshman season with the Gamecocks, Burch played in seven games where he had 9 solo tackles, 10 assisted tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and a single fumble recovered. In 2022. Burch showed further improvement and recorded 60 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks.
After the end of the 2022 college football season, Burch entered the NCAA transfer portal and chose to play for the University of Oregon. The Ducks already had a reputation of being some of the best defensive teams across the nation. However, adding a 6 foot 6, 290 pound defensive end, only helped in making their defense even better.
Burch attended Hammond School in Columbia, South Carolina and was a consensus five-star recruit coming out of high school. Burch also was selected to play in the 2020 Under Armour All-America Game and he was picked as the captain.
Had Burch entered the 2024 NFL draft, he was projected to be picked in mid-round. The major key is his towering height and build. After deciding to skip on the 2024 NFL draft, it can be assumed that he wants to play one more year as a Duck under Dan Lanning and increase his draft stock, as high as possible.
