EDMOND — The first time Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy saw Edmond Santa Fe senior Trace Ford on the field, the coach was impressed.
He fell in love with Ford's quick first step and his fervent pursuit of the ball.
“I saw him run a fly ball down in left field and dive and catch it, and steal two bases at 225 pounds,” Gundy said. “He's a football-basketball-baseball guy. So he hasn't had an extended period of time with his body developing at all.
“I think he's gonna be a guy that can get off the edge and really put pressure on the quarterback.
