Forney immediately made his way into the lineup, starting 8 of 12 games while missing four games due to a nagging toe injury suffered in the season opener. Forney has started 68 of 80 career games and has been a key part of an offensive line responsible for the NFL's top rushing attack in 2004 and 2005.

Forney transferred to the University of Hawaii from Trinity Valley (TX) Community College in 1998. As a senior, Forney earned All-Western Athletic Conference honors. He started 11 games at right tackle, collecting 94 knockdown blocks, as the unit allowed only 10 sacks on the season. As a junior, Forney appeared in every game and made five starts.
