Coach Fisher on Ford:
“Derrian is a former two-time Arkansas Gatorade Player of the Year. His skill level playing with the ball in his hands as well as off the ball is something that jumped out to us right away. He is a terrific shooter who has consistently shown the ability to knock down long-range shots throughout his career. He is a big, physical guard who will also bring us a great presence on the defensive end.”
