Jojo Ward brings size and upside to Utah’s backfield
Jojo Ward is a freshman running back for the Utah Utes in 2026, listed at 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds, giving him a classic power-back frame that can wear on defenses and fit a downhill scheme.[1][2] He is still early in his college career, so the biggest draw is projection: size, physicality, and the chance to develop into a reliable chain-mover if he earns touches. With no public game-log production yet and little published scouting detail, he looks more like a bet on traits than a finished product right now.[2][3]
