On June 24, 2009, Jordan announced he was leaving the University of Illinois’ basketball team to focus on school and his "life after basketball". During the summer of 2009, he interned at Nike.

Jeffrey Jordan was the subject of local and national media attention as a high schooler, and had three of his high school games shown nationally on ESPN in 2007. At Loyola, he was a starter for three years and was All-Catholic League twice. He was chosen for the 2007 Jordan Brand Classic.

Jordan graduated from Loyola Academy on May 26, 2007. He received scholarship offers from Valparaiso and Loyola University Chicago, and was actively recruited as a preferred walk-on by Davidson, Penn State, Northwestern, and University of Illinois. Jordan decided to play as a preferred walk-on at the University of Illinois and enrolled at the university in 2007 as a psychology major with an academic scholarship. On January 22, 2009, it was announced by the university that Jordan would receive a full athletic scholarship.

In the 1996 film Space Jam, Jordan was portrayed by Manner Washington.
