The star out of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, will spend his senior year at Largo High School. Ward is the No. 52-ranked player on the ESPN 100 while 247Sports list him at No. 62. The athletic wing can score on all three levels, thriving on the inside largely due to his athleticism. He's also a desirable asset on the defensive end with a non-stop intensity, allowing him to guard multiple positions.
It won't come easy drawing Ward to K-State with his in-state team and multiple powerhouses in consideration, but the coaching staff will do everything in their power to convince him.
