Ford, a Gainesville, Georgia, native, is listed as the No. 59 offensive tackle and No. 661 player in the 2027 class.
Ford, who is listed at 6-5 and 325 pounds, played left tackle at Gainesville High.
Ford recently visited Miami and impressed the coaches with his football IQ, a UM source said. Ford has been on the Hurricanes’ radar since offensive line coach Alex Mirabal watched him practice during his junior season, the source said. Miami’s staff views Ford’s power, foot speed and character as positive traits.
The Hurricanes have two other offensive linemen in the 2027 class: four-star prospect Sean Tatum and three-star prospect Zaquan Linton. Miami’s class currently has 10 recruits and ranks fifth in the nation.
