Keith Ford will soon become the second former five-star Oklahoma Sooners running back to join Kevin Sumlin's Texas A&M Aggies program, according to 247 Sports.

“I’m going to Aggieland,” Ford. “It feels great. When I went up there today you could really tell how much time they put into their player’s futures. They care about you getting your degree as much as your success on the field. What really helped me come to my decision was when I sat down with Coach (Kevin) Sumlin. It didn’t sound like it was rehearsed or anything. He was just talking to me man-to-man and laid out his expectations for me. He also wanted me to believe in him. After I heard all of that I was like, ‘Yea, I’m coming here.’ I can't wait to get up there."

The sophomore running back will not be eligible in 2015, because of NCAA transfer rules. He will have two years left to play for A&M beginning in 2016.

In two seasons at Oklahoma, Ford accumulated 526 rushing yards and six touchdowns while also contributing 140 receiving yards and a score.

For anyone still questioning the Aggies move to the SEC (Texas), here's an interesting tweet:
