Redshirt Tracker: Trace Ford’s Strong Freshman Season Continues in Loss
A look at who has and hasn’t played amongst the OSU newbies.

The newbie from Edmond Santa Fe continued his strong freshman campaign this week by notching three tackles, one tackle for loss, a pass breakup and his first sack, the latter of which came on a critical fourth-down stop.
