Looking to see what those who have seen him play or are tuned into SFLA HS football have to say about his season and how he is playing.
Is he inside full time? What does this first step look like this year? Carrying good weight or still SDE size?
Kid is like a defensive Robert Burns (injuries aside) to me in that he is a highly touted, physically dominant SFL player who feels a bit like a wild card at this point.

I'm just wondering if Ford is looking like the 3-tech we all want or the 3rd DE some think we need in this class.

Just a few months ago he talked about DJ being bigger than he was so asking if Ford is actually a 3 tech doesn't seem like a stretch. I am guessing the weight is good.

Can anyone speak to whether or not he has shown consistent penetration or disruption?

So far, aside from 252, no one here has offered much other than their attempt to sound cool without substance.
 
3 tech ll the way..

Big kid..not fat...

similar to Richard Mcintosh...

wasnt that disruptive in the game i saw in the spring...lined up at de. He apparently had a sack before i came to the game though

I'll offer this:

We Have Coach Kool.

That is all anyone needs to know. These DL recruits could be fat as **** or undersized as ****, and as long as we have Kool to teach them, I'll be confident they'll perform like beasts.
 
Kool gets to pick his guys without second guessing for sure. Had heard some whispers that Ford's first step\burst might be a little lacking so wanting to see if people felt it was good or had improved.

The good thing about having a guy like Kool.....he sees what a kid is 2 to 3 years from now. And that's the key in the trenches. Very hard to gauge how guys develop and grow etc

Kool ain't recruiting traditional DT's

He wants a line full of athletic freaks... We may take 3-5 DE's every class, but we'll never be thin at DT.

And no, that doesn't mean we're going to get a kid that's a DE and hope he gains weight to play DT... It means we'll be playing 4 Athletic pass rushers on the line at the same time.

You aren't getting answers because not many on here have access to Dillard game tapes because they aren't on HUDL.

I think you'll see our DE's be recruited as WDE (220-240lbs), The 3 tech's will be moved over from SDE and Our Nose will be the true DT recruits.

Defence looking for explosive athletes - Look at how fast Norton/McIntosh/Willis get off the ball. I can't wait to see how this D looks against Power 5 comp.

You heard "whispers" about his 1st step? Why would anyone need to whisper about that?
