Darin Jordan
Darin Jordan, SHS Class of 1983, was one of the premier defensive linemen in Northeastern Husky history.
He came to NU from Stoughton High School where he captained the football team and was selected All Hockomock League
as both a junior and senior. He was redshirted as a NU freshman in 1983, but was in the starting lineup by the fourth game of 1984.
In his rookie season, Jordan previewed what was to come with his totals of 24 tackles and two quarterback sacks.
The next two seasons, Jordan became a defensive stalwart while playing through several injuries, including a broken arm and two broken thumbs.
He missed very few snaps and played some games with hands so heavily taped he could not grasp the opponent. Still, he continued to rack up the tackles.
In his sophomore season he had 49 stops and three sacks. He then recorded 65 tackles and seven sacks as a junior.
The 6'2, 250-pounder could run 40 yards in 4.6 seconds and bench press 420, qualities that were attracting a lot of attention.
As a junior he was voted both All New England and All East. However, the Huskies were not doing well in the win column.
In his first three seasons the team had gone 3-7, 2-8 and 4-6.
Jordan was elected the team captain in his senior year of 1987 and vowed to lead the Huskies to a winning season. He would enjoy
the most productive season ever by an NU down lineman. Jordan led the team in tackles with 79 and added 12.5 sacks.
It remains the only time in Husky football history that a defensive lineman has topped the tackle charts.
In the crucial game of the year with NU's record at 5-3, Jordan smothered the Rhode Island offense with an 11-tackle,
four-sack effort as the Huskies downed the Rams 21-3 to cement a winning campaign. The Huskies finished at 6-5 and Jordan once again was
voted All New England and All East as well as Team MVP. His career sack total of 24.5 still lists second in the NU record book
and his 217 tackles are the most ever by a downlineman.
Darin Jordan was elected to the Northeastern University Hall of Fame in 2002.
Originally drafted by the Pittsburg Steelers, Jordan went on to play six seasons in the NFL, culminating with a
Super Bowl championship in 1994 as a member of the San Francisco 49ers.
He currently resides in Toronto, Ontario with his wife Andrea, who is a surgeon, and the couple's two children: Jonah, age 5, and Jenelle, 6.
