Background

Early life

Forsyth was born on February 13, 1999, in West Linn, Oregon. He played football at West Linn High School, where he was named first-team all-state as a junior and senior. A three-star recruit, Forsyth committed to play college football at Oregon.

College career

Forsyth redshirted his first year at Oregon in 2017. He appeared in five games in both of the following seasons, seeing action at right guard, right tackle and left guard. He became a full-time starter in 2020, starting at center all seven games in the COVID-19 pandemic-shortened season. He led the offense in snaps and only allowed one sack, while being named second-team all-conference.

In 2021, Forsyth appeared in 10 of 14 games, starting nine at center while earning second-team all-conference honors again. After being given an extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he opted to return to Oregon in 2022. In his final year, he rated as the second-best pass blocking center nationally according to PFF's rankings, and was named a second-team All-America selection.
