Versatile RB-Turned-TE with Proven Grit but Limited 2024 Production
Chaz Ward, a 6'0" 236-lb tight end/fullback for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns, flashed RB versatility at Lamar with 781 career rushing yards and 5 TDs (3.2 avg), including a 105-yard game in 2020, before transferring and battling injuries in 2022-23[1][2][4]. In 2024, he appeared in games like vs. TCU (1 rec, 9 yds) and Arkansas State (1 rec, 2 yds) as a blocking TE, showing toughness post-inactivity[4]. His differentiator? Relentless intensity and multi-tool skillset (rushing, receiving, tackling) make him a gritty depth piece for teams needing versatile blockers—perfect fit for run-heavy schemes valuing experience over flash[1][3][6].
