Garrett Ford Sr. wasn’t just a record-breaker for WVU football—he paved the way for generations on and off the field. As the first Mountaineer to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season and the first to top 2,000 career yards, Ford set a new standard in the 1960s. But his impact didn’t stop there. He became WVU’s first Black assistant coach and later mentored countless students in academic roles. Ford’s legacy lives on through his family and the community he inspired. How do you think his trailblazing journey shaped WVU and college sports? #Sports #Football #WVU
