Loren Ward brings disruptive pass-rush juice to FAU’s defensive front
Ward arrives as a **young, high-upside DL** with a proven high-school résumé: at Cocoa, he posted **46 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, 8 sacks and 25 quarterback hits** in his senior season while helping the Tigers win another state title. He’s attractive for teams that value **burst, backfield disruption and effort**, not just raw size, and his recruiting profile suggests he was a legitimate multi-offer prospect. For FAU, the main question is projection: he looks like a developmental lineman whose best fit is a system that can turn motor and pressure production into consistent college snaps.
