Ford Higgins is an old-school football player in terms of attitude and mentality. Ask Higgins how he learned to play so hard and he’ll look as though you just asked the dumbest question.
“I don’t know how you play the game of football any other way,” Higgins said. “You give yourself the best chance of succeeding on the field if you play as hard as you can on every play. I think that’s how the game should be played.”
Higgins is the smallest member of Navy’s starting offensive line, but routinely grades out the highest because he plays with so much effort.
