The UNLV commit showed great skill during his junior season both inside and outside of the pocket. Gordon displayed good accuracy while facing pressure and the ability to escape the pocket eluding free rushers. Gordon kept his eyes downfield and delivered throws on the money leading his guys to open field ad big yardage. Gordon also showed his ability to be a scrambler and a threat to break off big runs when the opportunity presents itself. He showed good vision as a runner, locating open gaps and has the breakaway speed to separate from defenders. Gordon finished his junior campaign throwing for 2,157 along with 28 touchdowns, and ran for 700 yards and 8 touchdowns. We are anticipating Gordon to come out and be even better than last year and leave his mark for his senior season.

In just his first season as a knight, Gordan made his presence felt. Gordan was dynamic in his junior season. An explosive athlete, he was the leading rusher on his team. He can throw well on the run and has a nice feel for pressure in the pocket. A passer before a runner, Gordan has a really good arm. He makes the easy passes look routine and the difficult passes look routine. Gordan’s top receiving target,

, is returning as well. I do believe his deep passes lack zip. Don’t get me wrong, the spiral is very pretty, but I think a skilled safety can break up the pass. Overall, I think Gordan has an amazing opportunity to cap off his senior season with a championship!
