Murray State has landed the commitment of 2025 G Tristian Ford.
Silky smooth creator and bucket-getter with plenty of upside. Joins Kaden Rickard in the Racers' 2025 class thus far.

2025 6”3 Tristan Ford @4tford2 commits to Murray St. Heady combo guard is a nice pickup for @CoachProhm and the Racers. Wiry , smooth guard is a three level scorer who’s super shifty. Should contribute from the jump down in Kentucky. @chi_prep @BradBealElite https://t.co/f1Zic0Gj8q

“When I got up there I didn’t want to leave. Coach Prohm, he just kept it 100 with me. Just telling me how it would be. And coach [Brendan] Mullins has kept it 100 with me. They showed me around campus and I just fell in love with it,” Tristian told Sam Lance of Zags Blog. “Murray State has been recruiting me since like my first year at Chicago Prep. So they’ve been recruiting me for a minute now. The time I knew it was the place for me is just when I got on campus. Like I said, I didn’t want to leave for real. It just felt good. It just felt like I can get better here. I can thrive here. I can be the best person I can be off the court and the best person I can be on the court for real.”
