TE Ford is a 4* athlete! He received offers from over 30 powerhouse colleges including Alabama! He committed to Arkansas because they informed him they would honor their offer even if he became injured! But when the bigger offers poured in during the Summer, he decommitted! Many friends told him to accept alabama's offer because it was Alabama! Others told him to commit before the season started or risk possible injury and a scholarship!
As fate would happen, he didn't commit! And as a big super hyped player in a small town in Southern Illinois , he played against a team with a player who wanted to prove he was just as good! After catching a TD pass, he was hit hard on his next catch by a quasi legal hit and suffered a broken collar bone and will now miss at least 6 games of his senior year! His senior year may be over after one catch! He remains a 4star athlete, but this is his second injury in two years, and he's now an athlete without a commitment! Will he be able to return this year? Will Alabama, OSU, and Michigan still be interested ? Should he have stayed committed to Arkansas? Will he end up at Illinois because the big boys will look elsewhere? We'll find out!
