On offense, Akingbade is a reliable receiving threat, especially along the hashes, where he uses his frame and catch radius to move the chains and challenge defenders in tight spaces. In the run game, he shows his physicality as a blocker, creating running lanes and sealing edges with good technique and effort.   Defensively, Akingbade uses his length and awareness to great effect. He consistently positions himself in passing lanes, making it difficult for quarterbacks to throw over or around him.

The decision gives Howard a high-upside defensive line prospect with the physical tools and mental makeup to make an early impact at the next level.   Standing out with his combination of size, strength, and finesse, Ford brings a well-rounded approach to pass rushing. He can collapse the pocket with power or win with quick hands and bend off the edge. His awareness at the line of scrimmage is also notable, routinely disrupting passing lanes by timing and batting down balls at the line of scrimmage.   Physically, Ford already looks the part. With Howard's defensive line group featuring about 15 players, he fits right in from a size and strength standpoint. As he continues to develop, Ford has the potential to be field-ready by the time he suits up in Bison blue and white.   This commitment is a strong addition for Howard's 2025 class and a sign that the Bison are prioritizing size and versatility up front.
