As a true freshman last season, Kossmann saw his first collegiate action in the Gators’ 2025 season opener against Long Island. He played one snap in which he was a pass blocker.
In high school, the 6-foot-5, 245-pound Chesterfield, Mo., native received a three star rating by On3 and the On3 Industry Composite. A First Team All-Conference tight end, the Marquette High School product was tabbed as the No. 122 tight end and No. 28 player in the state of Missouri after recording 408 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 35 receptions in 2024.
Kossmann chose Florida over Army, Columbia, Kent State, and Pennsylvania.
Jordan, meanwhile, made 10 appearances in 2025 as a true freshman, totaling 14 tackles — including six against Vanderbilt on Sept. 20, 2025.
