Jordan Todman NFL Draft Bio

Jordan Todman (born February 24, 1990) is an American football running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League. He played college football with the University of Connecticut Huskies. He finished his collegiate career third on the Huskies all-time rushing list before being drafted with the 183rd overall pick by the San Diego Chargers in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft.

At Dartmouth High School, Todman earned all-state honors twice, and was named the Boston Globe's Player of the Year during his senior season. Despite finishing his high school career as the second leading rusher in Massachusetts state history (behind only Jo Jo Goodine), many recruiting sites and college coaches thought he would be best suited to play defense. Despite late interest from Penn State and Boston College, only Connecticut, Purdue and Northeastern offered scholarships. On December 16, 2007, after finishing an official visit to Boston College, Todman committed to play running back for UConn.

Todman missed the first two games of his freshman season with a shoulder injury, and made his debut with 81 yards rushing and a touchdown in a UConn victory over Virginia. He would spend the rest of the year as the backup to All-American running back, Donald Brown, and would finish the year with 296 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

After Brown left for the NFL, Todman was promoted to starting running back for his sophomore season. Before the season began, he was named to the Doak Walker Award watch list. Despite splitting carries with Andre Dixon, Todman lead the Huskies with 1,188 rushing yards. He gained over 100 yards in a game five times, including running for 162 yards with 4 touchdowns in a 47–45 loss to Cincinnati. In addition to his running back duties, Todman was also the primary kick returner. In the Huskies victory over Notre Dame, he returned a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown. After the season, he was named second team All-Big East.

With Dixon's graduation at the end of the 2009 season, Todman entered his junior season as the team's primary running back. Just as the previous year, he was once again named to the Doak Walker Award watch list. During the regular season, Todman ran for over 100 yards in 9 of the 11 games he played (he missed the Huskies game against Buffalo with an elbow injury). He set a career high when he ran for 222 yards during a nationally televised game on ESPN against Pittsburgh, on the same day it was announced that he was not named a semi-finalist for the Doak Walker Award. At the end of the regular season, he had 1,574 rushing yards on 302 carriers and 14 rushing touchdowns. Connecticut finished in a three-way tie for the Big East Conference with West Virginia and Pittsburgh, but Connecticut won the tie-breakers and played the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2011 Fiesta Bowl. After the season, Todman was the unanimous selection as Big East Conference's Offensive Player of the Year.

After the Fiesta Bowl, Todman announced that he would forego his senior season and enter the NFL draft
