POSITIONS: Offensive Coordinator/Wide Receivers
Armstong enters the 2023 season as the new offensive coordinator for head coach Calvin Ruzicka in his second season at ETBU while also continuing developing the wide receivers. He came to ETBU after working for the University of Findlay (Ohio) in spring 2022 and two years as a graduate assistant at Olivet Nazarene University (IL).

"Jordan is a great role model to our young men," says Ruzicka. "He's very relational with our team and has become a mentor to a number of our players and not to mention he's a phenomenal recruiter. His style of offense is going to be fun for our players to be a part of and very exciting to watch."

In 2022 at ETBU, he was a part of an offense that threw for over 1,800 yards and in the final game scored 43 points. Prior to ETBU, he spent Spring 2022 as the Wide Receivers coach at NCAA Division II Findlay University (OH). For the 2020-21 seasons, he was Wide Receivers coach for Olivet Nazarene University (IL) at the NAIA level. In the spring 2021 season, ONU went 8-0 making the NAIA National Playoffs for the first time in over 20 years and won the Mid-States Football Association Conference Championship. The offense that spring season finished first in the MSFA in total offense, scoring offense, rushing offense, and passing offense. ONU went 7-3 in the 2021 fall season averaging 420 yards of offense and 33.1 points per game. In two seasons, six wide receivers earned All-MFSA awards, with three being on the first team as Jalen Dunnigan and Brian Jenkins were both named NAIA All-Americans.

Coaching in the high school ranks for three seasons in Florida, Armstrong was at Felix Varela Senior High School as the Pass Game Coordinator and Wide Receivers Coach. He helped produce six players that signed college letters of intent and his teams broke two single game records in passing touchdowns and passing yards.

Collegiately, he played defensive back at NCAA Division II Fairmont State University for three seasons, appearing in 23 games. At Felix Varela Senior High School, he was a two-time All-Dade County honorable mention selection and a third-team member. He set the school record for over 3,000 passing yards and also rushed for over 1,000 yards with 40+ touchdowns.

Armstrong holds a Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership from Olivet Nazarene (2021) and a Bachelor's Degree in Communications (2016) from Fairmont State University. He and his wife, Haley, were married in July 2022 and attend Cypress Valley Bible Church in Marshall and have a new born son, Shai.
