Gabriel Jordan played football, basketball, and baseball at Northview High School in Dothan, Alabama. After high school, the gifted athlete signed a football scholarship with Auburn University and became a starter on both the football and baseball teams.
Jordan is not Gabriel’s last name though; it’s his middle name. It was given to him by his father Lee Gross in honor of Auburn’s legendary Coach Shug Jordan. His dad was an All-SEC center for Coach Jordan in the early seventies.
Being the son of Auburn alums, “Gabe” Jordan Gross grew up an Auburn fan with dreams of wearing the Orange and Blue.
