Christian Ford brings proven, every-down safety production to Missouri State
Ford looks like a dependable, high-floor **safety** who already showed he can handle full-time snaps, playing in all 13 games and starting the final 12 in 2025 while finishing with 52 tackles, 3 pass breakups, a forced fumble and a tackle for loss.[1][2] His best trait is range-to-contact consistency: he tackles well in space, stays active around the ball and gives Missouri State a reliable back-end communicator rather than a boom-or-bust playmaker.[1][4] He is a strong fit for teams that value steadiness, durability and assignment-sound defense over pure splash plays.[1][4]
