Lance Ware brings defense-first toughness and high-energy frontcourt play to UT Arlington
Ware’s calling card is **defense, energy, and physicality**—he was recognized on the 2024-25 WAC All-Defensive Team and as a Second Team All-Conference selection, which signals impact beyond basic scoring numbers.[3] He’s the kind of forward/center who can help a team win possessions, protect the paint, and set a tone with effort and activity, making him a strong fit for a program that values rim protection and toughness.[3][4] His transfer to UT Arlington for 2024-25 also suggests he was viewed as an immediate impact piece rather than a long-term project.[5]
