Jordan's football aspirations took root at age 8 with the Kenosha Ramblers, where he spent 5 transformative seasons honing his skills, building strong relationships with his teammates, and developing a lasting passion for the game under the mentorship of his coaches. Throughout his Ramblers journey, Jordan drew invaluable motivation and expert guidance from Coach Chris Thurston, a constant and uplifting influence who propelled his growth not just as a player but a leader. During his inaugural year, he thrived in multiple positions including running back, wide receiver, and quarterback, and scored his first touchdown with a remarkable pick six, showcasing his agility and speed with a 50-yard run to the end zone. By his second year, Jordan earned the positions of QB1 and offensive captain for his exceptional leadership qualities and ability to inspire and support his teammates. Additionally, he impressively replicated his pick six feat, running 40 yards to the end zone with unwavering determination. His other notable game highlights include kicking 4 field goals, pushing his way through a wall of linemen for the TD, and earning game MVP honors after he was an unstoppable force with completions, rushing, and field goals including a missed field goal attempt where he scrambled for the ball successfully running it for the extra point, exemplifying his unrelenting love for the game. It became common to hear the announcer proclaim
"Hammond's pass complete!" With a skillset that transcends offense, Jordan has proven himself to be a formidable cornerback, displayed during a game in which he racked up 5 tackles, demonstrating his versatile range and capabilities. Guided by his father's principle, "You're a Hammond, so keep your head high and get the job done," Jordan has also excelled in soccer and basketball, dominating as forward and striker on the soccer field for 8 seasons and playing basketball for 8 years, leading his teams as captain and point guard.
