A well-traveled corner who found his best college form in a single standout season at Missouri State before signing with Buffalo.
Jordan Dunbar's college career took him from Rice to Kansas State to Missouri State, and it was that final stop where the New York native put together his most complete season. He signed with the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent after starting all 13 games at cornerback for the Bears in 2025.
Path to the league
Dunbar starred at Archbishop Stepinac High School in New York before beginning his college career at Rice, where he earned All-Freshman Conference USA honors in 2021 and All-CUSA honorable mention the following year. He later transferred to Kansas State before finishing his college career at Missouri State, signing with the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent after the 2026 NFL Draft.
