Expert Analysis
Chris Smith | Prep Redzone Scout
Big and powerful with good speed, Ward is a mismatch problem for smaller defenders who can both work the outside or move in and dominate the slot. This Memphis area product brings a nice combination of physicality and athletic abilities to his position along with the ability to be dangerous within the red zone. Ward’s size can be a problem for safeties, nickelbacks or smaller corners, especially close to the end zone where the Bulldogs wideout can box out defenders and use his vert and strong hands to bring down the catch. More work needs to be done with his agility and learning the route tree but you can’t teach size and natural pass catching abilities and Ward is that kind of target.

Read EvaluationCJ Marable | Prep Redzone Scout
Ward is strong at the catch point and shows awareness of his position near the sideline, tiptoeing down the line and keeping his feet in. He has the speed to threaten deep and can access an extra gear when the ball is thrown. He adjusts to low passes well and is comfortable going over the middle of the field. He is dangerous on deep crossers and is elusive and creative with the ball in his hands after the catch, using jump cuts to switch direction on a dime, reverse a play, and avoid tacklers. He can hit the afterburners and run away from the defense in space.
