Jordan Baird is one of three walk-ons on the team this season but unlike the rest of his teammates he has a music background and a pretty darn good singing voice. He has on American Idol back in 2009 and placed in the top 40 of the competition in Orlando, Florida. This past summer he impressed Simon Cowell while on X-Factor where he finished in the top 80 of the Seattle round. On Sundays when he's not traveling with the team Jordan can be found performing his music at Life Church in Manassas where his father is the pastor. Now he may be sharing his talents with the George Mason crowd at the Patriot Center this homecoming. Steven Goff of the Washington Post says Jordan has been asked to sing the national anthem at this year's homecoming game against ODU. I think it's a pretty cool treat for Mason fans to see one of the players sing the anthem in front of what will most likely be a near sell-out crowd this February 4th.
