Ryan Ward brings reliable depth and special-teams value to West Virginia’s tight end room
Ward is a **6-foot-4, dependable, do-it-all tight end** whose 2025 production was modest but useful: **6 catches for 41 yards and 1 touchdown** in 10 games, while also earning extensive special-teams snaps and Academic All-Big 12 honors.[2][1] His calling card is versatility and toughness rather than flash—he can contribute in the passing game, handle blocking duties, and stay on the field because of his high stamina and toughness ratings, plus strong durability in EA’s 2026 player profile.[7] For a roster that needs a steady TE2/TE3 with effort, intelligence, and team-first value, he fits.
