The Friends of John Mackey released the preseason watch list for the John Mackey Award today. As one would expect, Brevin Jordan’s name was included on the list, along with 35 other collegiate tight ends.
Despite missing the last few games of last season with a foot injury, Jordan finished second on the team in receiving yards (395) and third in catches (35). He was named a finalist for the 2019 Mackey Award, along with Harrison Bryant from FAU and Hunter Bryant from Washington. Although you have to wonder if a healthy Jordan would have been able to claim the award (and help Miami avoid its string of awful losses to end the year), Harrison Bryant had a great year (65 catches, 1004 yards, 7 touchdowns) and was certainly a worthy selection.
