Biography:
As a junior, Ford rushed for 1,549 yards and scored 17 touchdowns to earn All-Metro honors. He claims a 39-inch vertical jump.

Ford reports a 2.0 core GPA and a 16 ACT. "I’m also planning on going to summer school for math and science," he said. "I’m just going to work as hard as I can to get my grades up to where they need to be."

Ford:"I'm strong and have good speed. "I make good moves and have great vision. I'm a bit of a punisher when I run, but I also have speed (claims to run a 4.4 forty). I want to improve my pass blocking and lateral moves. That way I'll be able to break tackles better and not put so much pressure on my body."
