Scouting Verdict
Tyson Ford is a former top-120 4-star (Notre Dame, then Cal) whose production has never matched the billing — 3 tackles at Cal in 2025, 1 at ND. Now projected as a UCLA rotation DT, he carries real pedigree and P4 reps but essentially no statistical body of work. Low UDFA: the engine docks pedigree-without-production, but the traits and projected role hold him above pure depth.
Ceiling · 4.9
2026 rotation (DT2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.6).
Floor · 3.4
Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.9.
