This is great news and it's about time. Took the NCAA long enough.

For anyone who knows: How much of a contributor is he expected to be. I've only really followed recruiting for the last year or so and don't remember how big a deal he was supposed to be.

I would imagine that he would be a guy that rotates in from time to time. With Ndula moving to DT, i would say that Ward would really see some action. As far as contributor, i have only heard good things about his work ethic. My biggest concern is the fact that he missed a whole year of football action. Only time will tell.

He missed a year of high school ball in Oklahoma. Not due to injury and not at a skill position. I don't share the big concern.

Good. We can use all the able bodies we can muster anywhere across the Dline.

Another big boy on the D-line... need it this year.
