Timmy Ward is Rutgers’ high-motor, special-teams-first veteran DB
Timmy Ward is best known as a durable Rutgers senior who carved out a real role through special teams, not headline-grabbing stat lines: he played in all 12 games in 2025, finished with seven tackles, and has been a contributor on multiple special-teams units while scoring two career touchdowns off blocked punts. Rutgers credits him with 46 career games, 24 straight games to close his career, and Academic All-Big Ten recognition, which points to dependability, toughness, and team-first value more than pure coverage upside. He looks like a fit for a program that wants an experienced, reliable DB with leadership and special-teams impact.[3][1][2]
