The secret for Trace Ford gaining 21 pounds in the past year is apparently fairly simple: chicken, rice and broccoli for lunch and dinner.
On Wednesday, Ford spoke with the media for the first time since arriving at Oklahoma State, not doing any interviews last season as part of Mike Gundy’s first-year player rule. His absence from interviews was somewhat suspenseful as he climbed from four-star recruit out of Edmond-Santa Fe to one of the brightest spots on the Cowboys’ defense as a true freshman.
Ford played in all 13 of the Pokes’ games last season, accumulating 29 tackles, four tackles for loss, three sacks, a forced fumble, an interception, five pass breakups and nine quarterback hurries.
