Quick Q&A interview with Van Buren QB Jordan Barlow
Triple-threat Jordan Barlow wrapped up a school record setting season passing for 2,510 yards with 22 touchdowns in 2014 that included a 410 yard passing game against Greenwood High School. The Class of 2016 rising star is solid across the board, in the pocket, outside the pocket, and in the classroom.
After nailing a 31 on his ACT and carrying a 3.9 GPA at Van Buren High School, programs ranging from Louisville to Princeton and in-state power Arkansas are hoping to see more of Barlow during the college camp season.
We drilled Jordan on all things football in a previous in-depth interview but we wanted to know more. In an ongoing Recruiting News Guru “getting to know you” series, we put the 6’1”, 195 pound, talent through another round of questions seeking to know more about the student athlete off the field.
