DT Ford says he's set to enroll Sunday

Aug 9, 2017

The final member of Miami's 2017 signing class is set to officially arrive on campus this weekend.

Defensive tackle Jon Ford, a local product from Dillard High School and Miami's lone signeee at the position, told CanesinSight that he's been given clearance to enroll this Sunday.

Miami remained optimistic over the last month that Ford would qualify. Yesterday, defensive coordinator Manny Diaz equated Ford to "a present under the tree that you forget about."

Ford would be able to practice beginning Monday, but is not allowed to wear pads until his 5th day of practice due to NCAA rules.

Weldon

Njoku
Polendey
Dykstra
Hillery

Steed

Polendey may not be able to redshirt.

No chance he shirts with the depth at his position.

There's a chance imo

If Curry is indeed the backup and Irvin improves then Polendey might not ever play.

And from what it sounds like we're not going to use many (if any) two TE sets.

It had to have been today, and not yesterday, because you can't enroll on Sundays ---at least at most universities I'm aware of. Registrars offices are only open Mon-Friday

There is really no point of redshirting these days. The good players will leave before their senior season anyways. The rest will either transfer out or they're very average players that can easily be replaced.
