The 6-foot-4 and 338-pound tackle from Pineville, Louisiana has a chance to be a first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Ford started all 14 games this season on an Oklahoma offensive line that was named the best in the country by the Joe Moore Award.

OU's offensive line will look much different next season with the departure of Ford and seniors Dru Samia and Ben Powers.
