Cody Ford brings NFL-tested power and versatility to SFA’s defensive line
Cody Ford is a **Sophomore DL at Stephen F. Austin** with an unusual background for the level: he arrives with **seven NFL seasons and 99 career games played**, giving him rare experience, maturity, and a pro-caliber understanding of leverage, hand usage, and run-game physicality.[2][9][20] At 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds, he should fit as an immediate tone-setter if SFA wants a disciplined, sturdy front presence; the biggest question is how quickly that pro experience translates back into consistent college production after a long NFL grind.[20]
