Fred Ford brings proven efficiency and veteran toughness to SFA’s backfield
Fred Ford is a sturdy, productive Stephen F. Austin running back who has already logged 35 games and 946 career rushing yards on 171 carries with 7 touchdowns, plus 17 receptions for 134 yards. In his junior and senior seasons, he averaged more than 6 yards per carry, which points to real burst and consistency rather than just volume. The fit is straightforward: if you want a reliable, physical runner who can stay on schedule and contribute as a pass catcher, Ford looks like a no-nonsense add with enough juice to matter.
