Moved into to the Rivals 100.
6.0 four star.


Is anyone else not impressed with his film? He puts up sick numbers but his film is not that great.

he reminds of CS in his tyle, not too flashy but very productive. if he develops correctly he could be a very solid back but i dont see him being a 1500 yd rusher or anything

you think he runs people over and uses his legs to drive through tacklers like CS does?

He reminds more of KW, always bouncing to the outside. breaks a tackle every now and then
(seems like week competition on film) and has decent speed.

Its also hard to tell considering every play is a draw. Can he follow a FB and pound it between the tackles?

probably a bad example...but I compare him to a poor man's CJ Spiller.

Has all the talent and measurables, also when he breaks out he's gone. Don't expect him to come in as a Fr. and do big things but in the long run a very solid pickup.

He ran out of the I-formation his sophomore year and gained 1334 yards and 18 TDs in only six games as a starter. So yes, he can run in any offense. And yes, he is impressive and will run over anyone. And no, you haven't seen him enough to offer an opinion.

Mike Ford reminds me of Javon Ringer in style and body type.

I think he will move up to a 5 star before the season is over.

I don't know bout that... I thought he looked legit. He is still really young, he will only get better barring no injuries.

I would say he has a good chance on Scout.

Probably not Rivals though.

Well I was talkin bout Rivals...have no idea about Scout...Scout is better at everything except rankings in my opinion.

roach in knowing he is a gym rat i can see him having the kind of power to lower his shoulder and run through tackles and DB's, he doesnt seem to be afraid of contact.
