Derrius Ward brings size, scoring punch, and two-way versatility to Grambling State
Ward is a 6'6" senior guard whose 2025-26 production for Grambling State has centered on reliable scoring, rebounding from the wing, and late-clock shot-making; CBS Sports lists him at 10.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 32.9% from three, and 78.5% at the line in 2025-26, while game reports show he can swing outcomes with efficient scoring nights like 21 points, five boards, and five assists against Florida A&M. He’s the kind of bigger guard who can handle the ball, defend multiple spots, and give you grown-man minutes — though the fit question is whether you want a steadier creator than a pure scorer, especially given Grambling’s injury-hit backcourt stretch.
