Utah Athletics: The University of Utah Department of Athletics has established the Ty Jordan Memorial Scholarship to honor the memory of former football student-athlete Ty Jordan Athletics Director Mark Harlan announced Tuesday. Jordan, a freshman from Mesquite, Texas, tragically lost his life on Dec. 25, 2020, less than a week after concluding a memorable freshman season for the Utah Utes.
Jordan made a significant impact on the Utah Football program in his short time in Salt Lake City. The Ty Jordan Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a student-athlete in the football program who exemplifies the inspiring qualities that Jordan displayed through his work ethic, positivity and perseverance through adversity. Shortly after Jordan’s arrival in Salt Lake City, his mother Tiffany passed away after a long battle with cancer in August of 2020.
