Devyn Ford Leaves Penn State Football Program to Focus on Academics

Saturday afternoon running back Devyn Ford did not dress in Penn State’s 17-7 victory over Northwestern. After the game, James Franklin told the media that Ford has left the program to focus on academics as he looks to finish off his Penn State degree.

Ford will finis his Penn State career with 666 rushing yards, 103 receiving yards, and 6 total touchdowns. Unfortunately, this will include the touchdown against Indiana in 2020 that he should not have scored that most fans will remember. This season, Ford was averaging 5.3 yards per carry and 6.2 yard per reception as Penn State’s third down back.
