Mykel Ford brings young depth and two-way athleticism to Nevada’s secondary
Mykel Ford entered Nevada as a 2025 three-star DB from Putnam City HS, where he stacked up 100 career tackles, 2 interceptions, 9 passes defended, and a senior-year high of 33 tackles in 2024; he also showed offensive juice with 30 career catches and 3 TDs, plus track speed that hints at real range. In 2025, his college impact was limited to 1 tackle, but he remains a compact, versatile defensive back with multi-sport athleticism and upside for a deeper role if he keeps adding size and polish.
