I’m a cowboy/On a steel horse I ride/I’m wanted dead or alive… Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora, 1986
We have featured Bryson Ford before, once in an article we published on Prep RedZone Next. He is one of the better prospects at TE/DE in the western end of Kentucky, and with “Battle of the Regions” around the corner, Ford is using this offseason as a springboard to next. Will he get “early PT” at 6A Christian County? Can Wyman Gordon atomize a ton of nickel?

Hopkinsville, KY: Wyman Gordon is located on 100 Industry Lane in neighboring Princeton, KY. Still, the manufacturer has tentacles which spread both far and wide throughout the commonwealth of Kentucky.
Wyman Gordon makes things better. These things are critically important to your everyday life, though you may not know it.
We never think about melted and purified Nichol atomized and shipped around the country to make jet and plane engines. Well, until we take a flight…
Wyman Gordon makes things better

Wyman Gordon melts and atomizes this Nichol which is then purified and sent to make high temperature/high impact jet and airplane engines. These engines drive our economy, admit us to an interstate super high way, and enable our national economy to “purr like a kitten;” which is important to all of us.
Someone has been putting in the effort this offseason to make life easier for his high school’s 6A, first district football team going forward. That someone is Bryson Ford. Bryson is building a physique under the direction of his father, Derek, an assistant on the Colonel staff which is being built “Ford tough.” Ford Tough has a meaning, in and around the western Kentucky area, unrelated to the Ford Motor Company.
Bryson is a lengthy 5’11,” and is weighing in the 160-pound range, at present. His bench press is approaching 200-pounds rapidly and he is putting in the work in the power clean, and jumping boxes, developing the necessary quick-twitch muscle fiber needed to “get off the line” at his end position.
Ford led his middle school team in critical statistical categories on both offense and defense
Friday Night Fletch
This past season, for an 8-3 middle school squad, Bryson led the team in tackles for loss and QB-sacks. This is in spite of opponents running away from him all season.

Bryson was picked to play in the “Battle of the Regions” and his performance there will “open some eyes” to Ford’s prowess. He will come out the other side and sprint towards his freshman season in high school.
How likely is he to find the field early for his Colonels in ’25? Let’s put it this way, Jon Bon Jovi would describe Bryson as a wanted man!
