South Carolina EDGE Jordan Strachan receives multiple NFL rookie mini camp invites
It’s been a rollercoaster of a ride but Jordan Strachan’s NFL dreams remain alive. On Sunday, GamecockCentral learned that the South Carolina EDGE has been invited to take part in rookie mini camp with the Tennessee Titans. In addition to the Titans, Strachan informed GamecockCentral on Sunday night that he also received a rookie mini camp invite by the Kansas Chiefs.
Strachan arrived at South Carolina in 2021 after co-leading the FBS in sacks in 2020 at Georgia State. After waiting behind EDGE players like J.J. Enagbare and Aaron Sterling, Strachan was destined to not only play a key role for South Carolina in 2022 but to also be a guy to watch for the 2023 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, those plans were cut short in Week 2 of that season when he suffered a knee injury against Arkansas, ending his season.
