In-state defensive end prospect Trace Ford, a highly-touted three-star recruit with close to 20 total scholarship offers, will make his college commitment on Friday morning.
Ford will be picking between a top 8 that includes Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Florida State, Baylor and others, but all signs point to it coming down to a two-team race between the Razorbacks and Pokes.
Though Ford, an Edmond Santa Fe star, hasn’t named a favorite throughout his recruitment, the belief is that OSU is in the catbird seat. He visited campus back in June, right around the same time he made a visit to Arkansas for its Woo Pignic alongside fellow in-state pass-rusher Collin Clay.
