Gwynn Park G Brandon Ford commits to Loyola

Second-team All-Met guard Brandon Ford of Gwynn Park committed to play for Loyola on Tuesday, Yellow Jackets Coach Mike Glick said.

Ford chose the Greyhounds over Howawrd.

"I think that he liked the level of play and the strength of the [Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference] and he felt comfortable with the campus and the environment," Glick said. "Academically, he's a 3.5 student, so that was a really good fit for him. And he really clicked with their players."

Ford, who is 6 feet 3, averaged 19.2 points and 3.5 assists last season while leading Gwynn Park to the Maryland 2A final.
