USC sophomore wide receiver Kyle Ford has been named one of 30 nominees for the 2021 Mayo Clinic Comeback Player of the Year Award.

Three winners will be named in December and will be recognized during the Fiesta Bowl.

Ford has suffered bad luck with injuries throughout his career. A high school All-American, he tore a knee ligament and was forced to sit out most of his prep senior year. During his freshman year at USC in 2019, he was still recovering from his high school injury and saw action in just four late season games, catching one pass for a 20-yard touchdown. Heading into the 2020 season, he was expected to compete for significant playing time, but during the off-season, he tore the ligament in his other knee, forcing him to miss the entire season.

In this 2021 season, he has been healthy for every game and has caught nine passes for 128 yards, including a 36-yard touchdown versus Washington State.
