Putnam City senior defensive back Mykel Ford announced his commitment to Nevada on Wednesday. He chose the Wolf Pack after receiving Division I offers from Kent State and South Dakota.
Ford, a 6-foot, 160-pound senior, is a recent addition to Putnam City after moving from Putnam City West over the summer. He joins a Pirates defense that already hosts talent defensively, with defensive back Elijah Asberry and recent Tulsa commit Brayden Knox.
Ford was a force in the secondary as a junior. He led the Patriots with three defensive touchdowns, two interceptions, and 55 tackles. Ford has also shown off his versatility as a receiver in spurts, totaling 233 yards of offense.
