Jordan Howard is Alabama through and through. He was born in a suburb outside of Birmingham and played high school ball for the Gardendale Rockets. College ball was with U of Alabama Birmingham in 2013 and 2014. Even though he was regarded only a 2-star prospect, he began setting school records.
In 2015, UAB shut down its football program and Howard moved to Indiana taking on the likes of Michigan with a season high of 238 yards and 2 touchdowns in his junior year. He opted out of his senior year and entered the NFL.
In 2007, his father "Doc" Howard, a dentist, died of pulmonary fibrosis at 52. Since then, Howard has worn a white t-shirt with a picture of his father under his pads on game day.
