Jordan, competing at 133 pounds, racked up three bonus-point victories to start the tournament. He recorded a 15-0 technical fall over Jerome Greco of Columbia in the opening round, followed that with a pin of Old Dominion's Kyle Hutter in 3:51 and notched a 13-2 major decision over Rick Rappo of Penn.
