Ford holds the career rushing, season rushing, and career scoring touchdown records after breaking all of Cecil Collins records. Ford at least has one more game to go to add to his totals. Leesville plays ED White in the semi finals next week.

Offer list is not very impressive. Why is that?

Is he related to former LSU RB Michael Ford from Leesville?

For a player with desirable measurables, production, and acumen (3.5 grade point average), Ford seemingly lacked the necessary recruiting buzz entering his senior season.
He’s garnered scholarship offers from Air Force, Arkansas State, and Central Arkansas. Tulane. UL-Lafayette and UL-Monroe. He’s planned unofficial visits this fall to Tulane and Houston.
“I think it’s pretty good,” Ford said of his recruiting process. “Obviously every player wants the big D1 college like LSU or Alabama. My dream school was always Ohio State, Ole Miss, or Texas. I’m grateful to the schools I’ve built a relationship with. The schools that came here and spent their time with me.”
Causey’s not overly enamored with the advent of the NCAA transfer portal where teams can seek more experienced players over talented high school seniors. He’s also not a huge fan of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) which also hampered recruiting for players such as Ford.
“The game has changed, so the high school kids suffer,” Causey said. “These coaches have access to everybody’s film but won’t recruit you unless you come to camp. It’s frustrating and I’m not just referring to our kids. How many other kids are passed by this way? That upsets me because there are some good kids in the area, and I feel they get overlooked.
“With Xavier, he’s an old school type back, he wants a relationship,” Causey said. “Who’s going to build that relationship and trust with him, that you’re going to have his back no matter what happens when he gets to the next level. To be sure I have a 40-year successful life in something and it’s not about athletics. I believe God has a plan. He has a plan for all of us and it’s on HIS time. He has a bright future for this young man. He will end up where he’s supposed to be with the people, and school he’s supposed to be with. Whoever that is are the lucky ones.”
Ford acknowledges some of the trepidation from college recruiters stems from his 4.62 time in the 40-yard dash. He points to his highlight tapes over his career where in 70 touchdown runs, he’s never been caught from behind.

WTF this dudes dream school is Ole Miss? Texas?
His parents have failed him as a homegrown Louisianian. Don’t think I’ve ever heard of a player from Louisiana say his dream school was fricking Ole Piss.

I’m going to the game to watch him Friday. Nothing from LSU? Size and speed with LSU ties. Am I missing something?

Sounds like a kid worth taking a look at.

3rd in the Nation in rushing and LSU doesn't sniff him?
Leads the nation in Rush YPG with 275, I get you have Berry and Bradford coming in, but still... seems like the pedigree is there.
That 4.62 speed can be brought down with the right people.
Will be watching him Friday night as well in person. Alot of hype surrounding him. Will see if he lives up to it.

He’s not being offered by any other SEC school either. That should tell you something.

Prolly the best RB to ever come out of Louisiana. A story of what could have been.

Who in the hell from LA has Ole Miss as their “dream school”? What are you dreaming of, having the weekend of Dec 6th off annually? Seriously, who?

That area of the state is quite "easy" to get in and out of.
Still though, for anyone to be top 10 in the nation in a stat category they should definitely "go to him" than "him go to them"....
seems like that has been an issue in the recruitment process for him
