1. If you’re building a create-a-player defensive end in a football video game, you’d want a long, disruptive player with impressive pass rush moves, superb motor and positional versatility. This is what Notre Dame is getting in Ford. He is still a little raw and is growing into his body, but he looks excellent on tape and offers very high upside. Rivals ranks Ford as the nation’s No. 5 strong-side defensive end and No. 64 overall prospect in the 2022 class, and it’s easy to see why he’s rated so highly and was so coveted as a recruit when you pop on his film. He checks all of the boxes of a future All-American defensive end.
