Elite DB with UTEP Miners – 2009 All-Conference Kick Returner, DB Strength & Intensity
Clarence Ward, a standout defensive back (DB) for the UTEP Miners, earned All-Conference honors at Santa Rosa Junior College in 2007 and was the No. 1 kick returner in California that season. Though his official DB stats from UTEP aren’t publicly detailed in current sources, his reputation centers on elite intensity, sharp coverage instincts, and a fearless, high-energy personality that elevates team morale. Ward’s differentiator is his dual-threat capability: he’s a lockdown DB with the speed and agility to shut down receivers, plus a proven kick-return specialist who can flip field position. He has no known injury history, and his intensity level is consistently described as ‘game-changer’ by coaches. For teams seeking a DB with leadership, versatility, and relentless drive, Ward is a top-fit prospect. His 2009 UTEP roster listing confirms his commitment to the program, and his background as a state-ranked returner adds unique value beyond standard DB metrics.
