Johnathan Ford's top choice

By Brent Sobleski

Four schools were on Johnathan Ford's (New Hope, Ala./New Hope) radar when he decommitted from Vanderbilt Monday. Auburn, Florida State, Georgia and Tennessee are the schools Ford is now considering. He may have already made his decision between the quartet of programs.

"He's expected to choose Auburn despite offers from Georgia and FSU over the weekend," TideNation.com's Greg Ostendorf told Rumor Central. "He's scheduled to announce on signing day but he could pull the trigger sooner rather than later."

Ford is a likely redshirt target if he chooses Auburn with Tre Mason, Mike Blakely and JUCO recruit Cameron Artis-Payne expected to comprise Auburn's running back rotation this fall.
