2027 Tyler Ford 3* OT from Gainesville, GA (Gainesville HS) Precommit Thread

[lindend]

Mirabal visited Tyler in January Tyler will be visiting for a spring practice and is also planning an official visit. Canes offered in May 24 (before UGA) though UGA offered early and is reported to lead.

Mirabal wiped out UGA's early lead and he committed to the Canes on April 15, 2026.

@DMoney in the March 18, 2026 Bank.

Mark Matthews (STA) and Sean Tatum (Fort Pierce) remain extremely high priorities and the Canes are pushing hard. I like Miami for both at this stage. One name to add to the board: 6'6, 310-pound Tyler Ford (Gainesville, GA). ​

Recruiting is about to kick into high gear with a flurry of spring visits on deck. Here is the latest:

- There are three names to monitor at quarterback: Will Mencl (Chandler, AZ), Davin Davidson (Sarasota, FL) and Israel Abrams (Chicago, IL). Davidson has been on campus and Mencl and Abrams have visits on deck. It's still too early to call this one, as the visits are key and the QB position is always subject to dominoes falling at other schools. But these are the names in play right now.

- RB Myson Johnson-Cook (East St. Louis, IL) remains a monster priority and...

So, we are taking Tyler Ford and Zaquan Linton over Joshua Sam-Epelle?

Anez replacement. Same temperament when playing the game.

Looks like it. This is a big mean SOB though, fits that room like a glove and he may have some OT/OG versatility too.

Let me preface by saying idk if it is Ford over Sam-Epelle but reading the UGA board they think Sam-Epelle price is “too high for someone who is so raw” and does have elite measurables and athleticism he will need extended development.

If that’s true then sounds like a pricier Linton, no?

Again that is coming from the UGA and it sounds like they are walking away for now.

They just started that narrative once their mods conceded him going elsewhere, sour grapes.

Yeah i was about to add what htown said; watch their tone change if JSE decides he wants to go to UGA or insert xyz school here that isn’t known for bag dropping

He just took an OV to Georgia Tech

 

[Derrick Griffin]

This kid is a Guard and I love his game. His comp is pretty good too. I’ll have a write up this weekend.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

That's a large dude

 

[TRick72]

He looks like he’s already leaned up some compared to his 247 profile pics. When this kid gets in our S&C program watch out

 

[gogeta4]

kid is gonna be a beast of an interior prospect

The Miami Hurricanes have landed a 2027 offensive lineman commit in back-to-back weeks, securing the commitment of offensive tackle Tyler Ford.



A 6-foot-6, 310-pound lineman from Gainesville, Ga., Ford brings impressive power at the line of scrimmage. He uses his hands well, shooting them into opposing defenders to knock them back repeatedly.

Even at his impressive height, the Gainesville product moves well with quick feet at the tackle position.

A Georgia All-Region player for one of the top programs in the state, Ford has...
