Who We Are

Meet the Coach

Welcome to Elite Linebacker Training, the #1 linebacker platform in the world, where we mold the champions of tomorrow. My name is Coach Jordan Barnes, and I am honored to be your linebacker coach and guide on this journey to greatness.

My journey in football began as one of the top linebackers in the nation coming out of high school. With offers pouring in from every big-name program in the country, my future in the sport seemed destined for glory. However, fate had other plans for me. In my freshman year at Oklahoma State, a devastating knee injury forced me to confront a harsh reality – my dreams of playing football were shattered. It was a heartbreaking moment, but I was determined not to let my talent go to waste.

I made a vow to myself that day to channel my passion and knowledge of the linebacker position into something equally remarkable – coaching. Football had given me so much, and I was determined to give back to the sport that had defined me. Thus, my journey as a linebacker coach began.

Over the years, I've honed my understanding of the game and the linebacker position by leveraging my relationships I made in college, drawing from my own experiences, studying the greats, and constantly evolving with the ever-changing landscape of football. I've had the privilege of working with top high school prospects, molding them into collegiate standouts, and even fine-tuning the skills of NFL stars. The joy of seeing my proteges succeed on the field has been my greatest reward.

Here at Elite Linebacker Training, I am committed to passing on the torch of knowledge, dedication, and unwavering passion for the game. Our mission is to create a lineage of exceptional linebackers who will not only dominate the field but inspire the next generation of athletes. Whether you're a rising star, a college standout, or an NFL veteran looking to refine your craft, I'm here to help you reach your full potential.

Welcome to the Elite Linebacker Training family, where the pursuit of excellence knows no bounds. Together, we'll elevate your game to new heights and continue the legacy of greatness on and off the field.
