Jason Jordan

Nathan Everhart was born in Tinley Park, Illinois, on September 28, 1988. He has three brothers, two of whom would later be imprisoned for undisclosed crimes{{emdash}}one of them for life. He has said that he began amateur wrestling at the age of seven because he mistakenly believed it to be the same as professional wrestling.{{cite web|last=Saxton|first=Byron |author-link=Byron Saxton|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/wwenxt/jason-jordan-dilemma-27554705|title=Will Jason Jordan cure his dilemma?|access-date=August 24, 2015|publisher=WWE}} While at Victor J. Andrew High School, he competed in wrestling, football, and baseball. He attended Indiana University, taking part in wrestling, competed in the Big Ten Conference and became a three-time national qualifier for NCAA at the Division I level.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}

While wrestling at Indiana University, Everhart was ranked in the top 15 in the nation for three years in a row. In his senior year, he was undefeated in the regular season, going 35-0 and at one point was ranked as high as 2nd in the nation. During his fourth year of wrestling, he worked as a student coach at his university and helped two All-Americans at 197 lbs and a heavyweight. Everhart graduated with a bachelor's degree in biology with minors in chemistry, social science, and medicine. He put attending dental school on hold to pursue his dream of being a professional wrestler. Due to his accolades at Indiana University, he had his face painted onto the wall of the campus gym in 2010.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}

Everhart was scouted from college by WWE's road agent, Gerald Brisco. He was recruited to participate in a WWE tryout in 2010 and was subsequently offered a WWE contract, but he held off from signing it until finishing his college degree. In July 2011, he signed a developmental contract with WWE and was sent to the developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), where he took the ring name, Jason Jordan. His first professional wrestling match was at an FCW live event on September 30, where he teamed with Abraham Washington in a losing effort against Big E Langston and Calvin Raines. He made his televised debut on the November 13 episode of FCW TV, teaming with Colin Cassady and Mike Dalton in a losing effort against The Ascension. Jordan continued to make sporadic appearances in FCW until the brand was replaced by NXT in 2012. Prior to this, he won the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship with CJ Parker at a live event on July 13, making him one half of the penultimate title-holders before the championship was deactivated.

On the June 27, 2012, episode of NXT, Jordan made his NXT debut, losing to Jinder Mahal.{{cite web|last=Pantoja|first=Kevin|title=The Architecture of NXT: Episode #123|url=https://411mania.com/wrestling/the-architecture-of-nxt-episode-123/|work=411Mania|access-date=July 27, 2019}} He continued to make further occasional appearances throughout 2012 and 2013.
