Ward is one of the most impressive pure playmakers in the top 50 and is a candidate to rise with continued production. He is a truly elite player with the ball in space, and is used in gadgety type roles in the short areas. He is fast, an unpredictable mover, and he strains the most out of each rep. There is little question about his playmaking ability, but it’s ultimately his ceiling that I will spend the most time evaluating over the next few years.

Aaron Ward Aaron Ward 5'10" | 170 lbs | WR/DB Cottage Hill Christian | 2029 State AL is a talented WR from Cottage Hill Christian who produced a ton in his first year starting.

“Ward is a seriously athletic WR who plays with a ton of speed, quickness, and physicality. I love watching what he can do after the catch- he has top-end speed, acceleration, and change of direction skills he uses to carve up defenses in the open field. It’s seriously tough for defenders to get ahold of him, and a ton of fun to watch.

On top of that, Ward has serious contact balance and strength. He frequently shakes off tacklers with ease and can dish out some serious stiff arms. Ward uses all these same skills in the return game, making him a really well-rounded recruit, early on in his career. We all need to look out for him moving forward.”

Ward has already developed some great chemistry with QB Shamar Toodle Shamar Toodle 6'1" | 200 lbs | QB Cottage Hill Christian | 2028 State AL . I think we’re going to see a ton more from those two this upcoming season. In the meantime, be sure to take a look at Ward’s film below.

“Ward has a special blend of speed and physicality. He’s quick on his feet, can cut and elude defenders, and has the acceleration to quickly turn upfield for huge plays. Ward runs hard and has impressive contact balance that he uses to break tackles and stay on his feet, making the most out of every opportunity with the ball.

I love seeing how versatile Ward is. He can play out of the backfield, take jet sweeps for big gains, and create some impressive plays deep downfield as a receiver. I’m really excited to watch him grow over the next few years.”

Ward made a ton of plays this past season, picking up 121 yards and 2 TDs on the ground, 54 receptions for 735 yards and 4 TDs through the air, and several stops on defense as well.
