Dee Ford
247Sports Composite 3-star (.8789), No. 12 WDE
What we learned: Ford is another late bloomer on the recruiting trail but the bigger hinderance for him was that he was a tweener. He was a defensive end in a linebacker’s body. More importantly though, he was wildly productive as a senior (18 sacks) and he was a physical specimen.
2015 Comparison: Nu’umotu Falo, Sacramento (Calif.) Inderkum
Auburn discovered
Dee Ford in part thanks to an impressive camp performance. Falo has had some similar performances the past two years at camps of his own. Similar to Ford, Falo is an undersized pass rusher at 6-2 but his rush instincts are terrific and the Colorado commit could easily play with his hand down full-time. This is the type of player that can develop into a household name.
