He's yet to coach a game - and has only coached three practices! - but Missouri football's Eliah Drinkwitz continues to collect St. Louis talent at a rapid rate. On Thursday, he reeled in a whopper: four-star Lutheran North defensive end Travion Ford. He's the state's highest-rated 2021 recruit who had been uncommitted.
Ford was ineligible for the first two weeks of the 2019 season but still earned first-team Class 2 All-State honors and third-team All-Metro honors after piling up 62 tackles and nine sacks. Ford transferred to Lutheran North from Lutheran St. Charles in February 2019 and was initially ruled ineligible to compete on the Lutheran North varsity team by the Missouri State High School Activities Association's appeals committee last August.
