Redshirt senior Robbie Jordan of the Francis Marion University baseball team has been named the McDonald’s Student-Athlete of the Week for the period of Mar. 30-Apr. 5, 2026.
Jordan, a native of Florence, S.C., made two appearances on the mound, collected a win, and posted a 2.00 ERA over 9.0 innings pitched, as the No. 11 Patriots recorded a 3-1 mark last week.
On Tuesday, Jordan tossed 1.0 scoreless inning in the midweek start while yielding two hits and one strikeout in a 14-0 shutout win at Newberry College.
He returned to the mound on Friday after delivering stellar performance in an 8-3 victory over UNC Pembroke. Jordan (8-1) earned the win after allowing three runs (two earned) on eight hits with six strikeouts and zero walks in 8.0 innings pitched (115 pitches). He retired the side in order three times in the start while forcing 11 flyouts and seven groundouts.
Jordan also achieved history on Tuesday night after tying the FMU all-time wins record with 29 victories, matching the mark held by Erin Jones (2002-04).
He is tied for third in the NCAA Division II with eight victories on the mound.
The Patriots return to action on Tuesday, April 7, for a non-conference regional matchup at Lander University. FMU will play at Sparrow Stadium this weekend in a three-game series versus Ferrum College, starting Friday at 6 p.m.
