Elijah Ward Elijah Ward 5'9" | 150 lbs | DB Woodford County | 2026 State KY is a bit of a hidden gem in the state that has been sitting behind some very talented players at Frederick Douglass. While he has played a limited role, he has put together some impressive film on both sides of the ball. On offense, he is an explosive running back with the burst of speed to run away from the defense once he hits the open field. He also is very impressive on defense at corner where he has shown the ability to lock down opposing receivers in man coverage while also showing the ball skills to make a play on the ball when it is thrown his way. Ward currently holds an offer from Louisville and I can see more coming his way as his role on both sides of the ball continues to grow.

Elijah Ward Elijah Ward 5'9" | 150 lbs | DB Woodford County | 2026 State KY is a young prospect that has the potential to be a rising star in his class. He has played a limited role so far on a loaded Frederick Douglass team but has impressed when on the field. Ward is a lockdown corner on defense that is very impressive in man coverage. He has shown the ability to open up and run with receivers while staying in their hip pocket to mirror their routes. Ward also has seen some carries out of the backfield on defense. He has solid vision and has shown the speed and elusiveness to break off on long runs once he hits the open field. Ward currently holds an offer from Louisville and I expect more to come his way as he continues to develop and his role continues to grow.
