Former WVU CB Jordan Scruggs Commits to Big Ten School

Former WVU football cornerback Jordan Scruggs will spend his recently-earned final year of eligibility in the Big Ten, as he has committed to Maryland per Pete Nakos.

Scruggs was granted an injunction against the NCAA Monday after entering the portal in January.

Scruggs, listed at 5-foot-11 and 166 pounds, pursued the NFL Draft, but was never selected or signed by a team. He transferred to WVU ahead of the 2025 season after playing for South Alabama in 2024.

In his lone season at WVU, Scruggs recorded 33 total tackles, with 22 credited as solo, a pair of pass deflections, a forced fumble and an interception, which he turned into a pick-6 during WVU’s road upset over then ranked Houston, while playing in all 12 games at cornerback and contributing on special teams. He had 69 combined tackles, two pass deflections and a pick in 2024.

His college career started in 2021 as a redshirt at Washburn. He then played for Central Missouri as a freshman in 2022 and became a star at Hutchinson Community College in 2023.
