Q&A: Trace Ford on Growing Up an OSU Fan and Competing Early

There is a lot of opportunity on the defensive front for the Cowboys this season.

After six defensive linemen left from last season’s squad, there will be plenty of healthy competition to be had for Oklahoma State’s pass rushers. Trace Ford is ready to get himself into that mix when hit gets to Stillwater. Ford, Oklahoma’s fifth-ranked prospect in the 2019 class, talked with me over the phone Saturday after he had a baseball game Friday. He is our conversation.

To start, what made you choose Oklahoma State?

I chose Oklahoma State because it’s close to home, and I felt like it was my best place to get on the field early and make a mark while having a winning record.
