Austin Ford’s Dream of Playing Football in College is Fulfilled with NCSA Athletic Recruiting
Austin Ford’s commitment to Whittier College was a decision he knew would shape more than just his college career, but the foundation for his next forty years. His determination to play football at the collegiate level led to his decision to join NCSA Athletic Recruiting, an exclusive recruiting network that provides student athletes with the opportunity and technology to be proactive in their recruiting process. Not only did Austin have the tools he needed for the recruiting process, NCSA also educated him on the steps he needed to take to achieve his goal.

Austin has demonstrated the true meaning of “student-athlete.” Earning a 3.25 GPA, Austin is an Eagle Scout, the recipient of the 2012 Don Valentine Honor Student Award, Mock Trial Attorney Award, and was selected as a national delegate to the Youth Citizenship Seminar. He plans to major in psychology at the university located in Southern Ontario.

As a three-year varsity athlete, Austin was named to 1st Team All-Conference, 1st Team All-Are, CIF 1st Team – All Area and All League and led his team to a 3rd place finish in conference in 2012. In 2011, he led his team to win the conference title and was named to the Honorable Mention All-Conference and All-Area teams.

Austin’s self-motivation and trust in the recruiting process has rewarded him with the opportunity to play football as a Whittier College Poet and earn a meaningful degree that will allow him to succeed in the future.
