Tre and Tyrell Ford’s unversity coach pleased to see brothers reunited in Edmonton
Global News
This will be the first time the twin brothers from Niagara Falls, Ont., are on the same team since their days at the University of Waterloo.
Tre and Tyrell Ford are together again and Chris Bertoia couldn’t be happier.
Tyrell Ford made the reconnection complete last month when he signed with the Edmonton Elks in CFL free agency. Roughly two months earlier, Tre Ford agreed to a three-year deal to remain in Alberta after being taken in the first round, No. 8 overall, in the 2022 draft.
It marked the first time the twin brothers from Niagara Falls, Ont., were on the same team since their days at the University of Waterloo, where Bertoia has been the head football coach since 2015.
“Good on Edmonton for signing them both and getting them back together,” Bertoia said. “I think it’s something that’s certainly a dream of theirs to play professionally together.
The 26-year-old Fords played at Waterloo from 2017 to 2021, each excelling with the Warriors.
After being named Canadian university football’s top rookie in 2017, Tre Ford became Waterloo’s starting quarterback in 2018. That year he guided the school to its first playoff appearance since 2003, then the following season he led the Warriors to their first post-season victory since 1999.
After the global pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 campaign, Tre Ford captured the 2021 Hec Crighton Trophy as Canadian university football’s outstanding player. He later received the Lois and Doug Mitchell award as U Sports top male athlete for 2021-22.
But the quarterback was forced to be patient in Edmonton with 18 career starts (9-9 record) over 38 regular-season contests. After being stuck behind the likes of Taylor Cornelius, Jarret Doege and veteran McLeod Bethel-Thompson on the Elks’ depth chart, Ford is now firmly established as the starter and face of the franchise.
