A four-star recruit coming out of Webster Groves High School, Gordon originally signed with St. Louis University prior to the 2018-19 season. He spent one semester at his hometown school before transferring to DePaul.

Gordon never saw the floor at DePaul, leaving after seven months. He then transferred to Northwest Florida State where he played in 11 games before leaving in November 2019. Gordon averaged 9.2 points and 6.5 rebounds in 22 minutes per game there.

Eight months later, he’s hoping to have found a home in northern Lousiana. Grambling finished 17-15 last season, 11-7 in the SWAC.
