2015 East Bay (Fla.) defensive end Marques Ford is hearing from a handful of schools at the moment, but a big time offer came in for him recently that shaken up his recruiting situation.
“I’ve been talking with Georgia Southern, Central Michigan, FIU, UCF, USF, Miami, Rutgers and Wake Forest. Miami offered today and it was great. I got a call from my coaches. He told me that the Miami coaches offered and I was excited.”
Ford had been in constant contact with Hurricanes defensive line coach Jethro Franklin, up to this point and really liked the bond he’s built with him.
“I’ve talked to some of them and I’ve been down to the camps. Jethro Franklin, he’s great. He’s really a good guy and he sends me pictures about the school and it’s cool.”
The 6’4 240 pound rush end has a top list of schools and the ‘Canes are out in front.
“Miami, Rutgers, Wake Forest and Marshall.”
Ford is really intrigued by the facilities and the atmosphere in Coral Gables.
“I like the facilities and the environment of the school.”
The East Bay high school product has only one visit confirmed for the moment which is to Rutgers next week, but he might take a trip to see the Hurricane staff next week as well.
“I was actually thinking about it today and trying to talk about going sometime next week, I got to see though.”
Two big factors will help Ford make this decision and he doesn’t plan on making one until his senior year.
“The academic environment and the interest of the coaching staff in me.”
