Darren Ford Jr. brings length, defense, and sneaky upside to Texas Lutheran
In the 2025-26 season, Darren Ford Jr. is a 6-foot-7 forward at Texas Lutheran who looks like a classic role-player with defensive value and room to grow; after earlier stops at Cardinal Stritch and Marian, he’s already shown he can stick with a program and contribute in the margins. Texas Lutheran’s roster and stat page show limited 2025-26 usage so far, but his background includes First Team All-Defense in high school, and he posted a career-high 10 points for TLU in February 2026, hinting at usable energy, length, and opportunistic scoring for a team that needs steady, low-drama frontcourt minutes.[1][3][7]
