The University of Georgia is among the top four schools for defensive end Tyson Ford. The Georgia Bulldogs football program and defensive coordinator Dan Lanning have offered a scholarship to Tyson Ford about a week ago. Ford plays defensive end for John Burroughs School, which is located just outside of St. Louis, Missouri.
Georgia joins several elite college football programs vying for Ford, who is rated as a four-star recruit. The John Burroughs School standout has received scholarship offers from Oklahoma, Baylor, Texas, Notre Dame, Michigan, Michigan State and about a dozen other college football programs.
Ford, who is a member of the class of 2022, has already accepted an invitation to the 2022 Under Armour All-American Game. He’s 6 feet, 5 inches and weighs 245 pounds.
On film, Ford is adept at working his way into the opposing backfield. He also plays tight end, where he excels as a powerful run blocker. He has decent athleticism and should only improve as he continues to add to his frame.
The four-star defensive end recruit announced his top schools via his Twitter account:
Appreciate all of the schools that have recruited me so far, but these are the ones that I’ll be focusing on from here on out. #top4 pic.twitter.com/HcqCw9nJXJ

The Georgia Bulldogs, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Missouri Tigers, and Oklahoma Sooners are in Ford’s top four schools. We’ll keep you updated throughout Ford’s recruiting journey and if he makes a commitment.
Ford is projected to commit to Oklahoma, but don’t count out the other three school as they all have reasons Ford would thrive at their respective programs.
