Florida is a top contender for four-star edge rusher KJ Ford as he nears his commitment announcement, set for Friday at 8:30 p.m. ET live on the 247Sports YouTube channel.
If the 6-foot-3 1/2, 240-pound pass rusher from Duncanville (Texas) High were to pick UF, he would become the fourth recruit from the Lone Star State to commit to Florida since Willis (Texas) High product DJ Lagway pledged to the Gators in 2024.
National scouting analyst Hudson Standish evaluated the influence of Lagway on Texas prospects, including Ford, this week on The 105 with Andrew Ivins & Cooper Petagna.
