Even as a redshirt, in 2015, Cody Ford was special. He won the Scout Team Offensive Player of the Year award that year, setting the expectation for big things to come in the seasons to follow.
Those “big things” would be put on hold when Ford suffered a broken leg against Ohio State in 2016, resulting in him missing the remainder of the season. He came back bigger and stronger, some would even say meaner, in 2017 to set the tone for one of the better two-year runs for an Oklahoma lineman in recent memory.
By the time he finished his career at Oklahoma Ford was a first-team All Big 12 selection and anchored a line that won the Joe Moore Award for the best offensive line in the country.
