"Coach Ford is one of the elite head football coaches in this country" Cross said in a news release. "I go way back with him and his family and I am excited to finally get to work with him. The staff that he is putting together is certainly elite. My family and I are so excited to get back to the Northwest and be able to recruit from high school programs that we all have deep rooted relationships with."
