Early life and career
Jordan was born in Longview, Texas, and raised in Ore City, Texas.
In 2015, Jordan auditioned for The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter, a film directed by Jody Hill and starring Josh Brolin and Danny McBride. The film, which follows a father-son hunting trip, marked Jordan's acting debut when it was released in March 2018.
Jordan gained recognition in 2017 when he was cast as George "Georgie" Marshall Cooper Jr., the older brother of Sheldon Cooper, in Young Sheldon, a prequel series to The Big Bang Theory. Initially introduced as a supporting character, Georgie became a more central figure during the show's run. His character's relationship with Mandy McAllister (played by Emily Osment) became an important storyline, culminating in the characters' marriage during the show's seventh and final season.
In 2024, CBS announced a spin-off series titled Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, with Jordan and Osment reprising their roles. The series, which explores their journey as newlyweds and young parents, premiered later that year and received mostly positive reception. It was renewed for a second season in February 2025.
