Natalie Jordan, a standout linebacker and hockey goalie at her high school, is weighing the prospect of competing in both hockey and flag football at the collegiate level.
During the recent Reaction Technologies Girls Flag Football Showcase and Development Camp at Birmingham Groves, Jordan impressed coaches with her quick‑twitch reactions, recording an interception and breaking up another pass.
A Dual‑Sport Prospect
Jordan’s experience as a hockey net‑minder translates into an ability to read plays and react instantly on the flag football field, a skill set that caught the eye of several camp instructors.
The camp, which drew talent from schools across the region including Capri Easley, Eric Newton, Amaya Tigney and Brandon Folsom, served as a proving ground for athletes aiming to sharpen their game before their senior seasons.
Jordan helped lead her high school team to a 3‑2 record and a berth in the state tournament, a testament to her leadership and versatility across sports.
With the offseason underway, she is taking advantage of a packed schedule of camps and training sessions to refine her technique and maintain momentum heading into her final high school year.
Looking ahead, Jordan hopes to continue both hockey and flag football in college, using the differing seasons to balance her commitments and maximize her athletic development.
