The 6-5 315-pound Ford, a native of San Pedro, Calif., is a two-time all-Pac 12 performer, earning first-team plaudits from the conference in 2020.
Ford has 26 starts in 30 career games, starting 86.7 percent of the time during his career thus far.
Ford also has showcased his versatility, having played at left tackle, left guard, center, right guard and right tackle for the Utes.
Inside the Gridiron podcast host, Jack Borowsky, has shared glowing praise of Ford, which suggests the Utes will greatly benefit from his return to school.
Utah has two really talented future NFL players on their offensive line. Simi Moala has great size/footwork. Former DE, who project well at RT. Nick Ford can play all 5 positions and is great on the move. Playing Center against the Huskies. Should be a Senior Bowl guy. #NFLDraft
