Ashford made many plays during his two seasons with the Tigers, recording 1,758 passing yards, nine passing touchdowns and nine interceptions to go with 927 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns over 22 appearances and 10 starts. A former three-star quarterback from Hoover, Alabama, Ashford is an elite athlete, playing baseball during his first collegiate year in 2021 for the Oregon Ducks.
