For Troy Ford, the recruiting process is going better than he expected or imagined it would at this point.
Just a sophomore, the 6-foot-2, 236-pound defensive end/outside linebacker from Calvary Day School in Savannah, Ga., picked up his first offer from Georgia Tech in February before adding another big offer from Notre Dame last week.
“It’s going better than I could ever ask,” Ford said of his recruitment. “I mean, I’m really surprised so far. I’m only in my sophomore year, and I’m getting offers and I’m getting exposure.”
Clemson, meanwhile, is another program that has taken notice of Ford’s talent, and he is on the Tigers’ recruiting radar coming off of a sophomore season in which he posted 69 tackles including double-digit sacks.
