Feeling comfortable with his college choice and with his AAU career behind him, Arkansas basketball commit Derrian Ford of Magnolia is at peace.

Ford (6-4, 205) has a clear philosophy as he enters his senior season.

“The goal this year is to win a state championship,” Ford said. “I am going to put in the work and play to the best of my ability to help make that happen. I just want to enjoy every day of the school year, work out, play and have fun on the court.”

Ford, whose team’s 53-game winning streak ended in a loss to Morrilton in the Class 4A state tournament semifinals, took an official visit to Arkansas on June 2-4 then committed to the Razorbacks on July 14.
