Travion Ford plans camps at Alabama, Oklahoma Josh Helmholdt • Rivals.com @JoshHelmholdt

EAST ST. LOUIS – After a 17-sacks sophomore season, St. Louis defensive end Travion Ford 247 has seen his offer list swell to nearly 20 total schools. The 2021 prospect plans to camp with two of those schools this summer.

“I am supposed to be visiting Oklahoma and Alabama again, going to their camps,” Ford reported.

Ford was just in Norman, Ok, visiting with the Sooners the weekend of May 11 with his teammate, four-star linebacker Antonio Doyle
.
“That was a great experience,” Ford said. “They treated me with a lot of love, all of the coaches.

“They said I would be a good edge rusher for them. They said I would be like Ronnie Perkins
, he came to (Oklahoma) from my school and is really good. He’s probably going to get drafted out of there. He’s supposed to be training with us in the summer and I’ll ask him some questions.”

Ford has also previously been to Alabama, but that trip took place last November to see the Crimson Tide face rival Auburn in the Iron Bowl.

“I talked to Nick Saban a little bit,” Ford said. “My dad, he was excited to talk to (Saban). I was happy when they offered me, and I was surprised too being a No. 1 team.”

A unique prospect who played primarily with his hand in the ground as a sophomore, the 6-foot-3, 207-pound Ford is being recruited for both the linebacker and defensive end positions by different schools.

“I am trying to go somewhere I can start as a freshman or see the field,” he noted.
