Zayden Ward Zayden Ward 5'8" | 150 lbs | ATH Austin O'Brien | 2025 CAD is small there’s no denying that as he is listed at 5’8″ 150lbs, but he has the potential with his ability that he has shown as a junior to quickly pop on schools radar’s. Zayden is a quick and shifty receiver who has surprising speed once the ball is in his hand. He is a YAC machine at the high school level as he has constantly shown the ability to get YAC yards once he makes the catch. The fact that he is agile with good lower body strength that allows him to get the free yards that every school is looking for as he can turn any catch into an explosive play. He also has an ability to win at the catch point as he has shown the ability to climb the latter and make a great catch. He can improve on being a more crisp route runner as he sometimes doesn’t make the sharpest cuts on breaks which can allow defenders to make a pass breakup. Obviously he needs to get bigger but even now he should be hotly recruited by CIS schools thanks to being a YAC machine with the potential as he gets bigger to be on the radar FCS schools.
