One-time USC receiver Kyle Ford leaves the UCLA Bruins to become a Trojan for the second time
WR Kyle Ford had spent the bulk of his collegiate career at USC before transferring to UCLA last year. Ford was hoping he'd be able to showcase his skills a bit more with less competition ahead of him at the WR spot.
However, former UCLA head coach Chip Kelly utilized a very run-heavy scheme and thus didn't utilize Ford nearly as much as he probably should have. Ford finished last season with only 22 catches for 256 yards and 1 TD. With one more year of eligibility left, the former big-time high school prospect decided to re-enter the portal. Ultimately, USC came calling -- and the rest was history.Ford committed to USC on Tuesday afternoon amidst interest from a host of other programs. In what figures to be his last season in college, Ford's journey back to USC has truly come full circle.Now, those who support the Cardinal and Gold probably find this statement rather amusing.
Ford has the strength to bother smaller defensive backs. Duly, he's quick enough to be a real problem for linebackers and bigger safeties. If there's one coach who can figure out how to best utilize his physical traits on the offensive side of the ball, it's Lincoln Riley.USC Collective House of Victory Tips Off NIL Campaign for Women's Basketball
