Miami Secures Third 2027 Offensive Lineman
16 Apr
Summary
- Tyler Ford, a three-star offensive lineman, committed to Miami.
- Ford chose Miami over offers from Auburn, Duke, and Florida.
- He is ranked as the No. 59 offensive tackle in the 2027 class.
The Miami Hurricanes' 2027 offensive line recruiting class received a significant boost on Wednesday with the commitment of three-star prospect Tyler Ford. Ford, originally from Gainesville, Georgia, announced his decision, becoming the third offensive lineman to join the Hurricanes' incoming class.
Ford's decision came after considering offers from multiple Division I programs, notably Auburn, Duke, and Florida. The Hurricanes staff was particularly impressed with Ford's football IQ during a recent visit, highlighting his potential contribution to the team. Offensive line coach Alex Mirabal had been monitoring Ford since his junior season.
Standing at 6-5 and weighing 325 pounds, Ford played left tackle for Gainesville High. Miami's coaching staff views his power, foot speed, and character as key strengths. Ford joins previously committed four-star prospect Sean Tatum and three-star prospect Zaquan Linton, further strengthening Miami's 2027 offensive line recruiting class, which currently ranks fifth nationally with 10 total recruits.
