Syracuse football recruiting: RB Jawhar Jordan cleared by NCAA, plans to enroll in January

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Running back Jawhar Jordan, a Syracuse football commit from last cycle, has been cleared by the NCAA and plans to enroll in January, he said in a series of text messages.

Jordan, who played for Hamilton (Chandler, Ariz.) High School, took one online class before graduation in the summer and one class afterward. He said he's been in touch with members of the SU staff throughout the process.

"This process have been a bit stressful," Jordan said. "(I) honestly thought I'd make it through back in February. Odds were against me. It's OK though.
