The Jimmy Lake linebacker is back in Montlake after two years at Arizona.
With the Arizona-Utah football game barely six and a half minutes minutes old in Tucson last November, Anthony Ward raced in from the left side, stepped around a clueless Utes blocker, blocked Jack Bouwmeester's punt, caught the ball on the second bounce and scored.Ward's heroics gave the Wildcats a 14-0 lead on the way to a 42-18 victory over the 16th-ranked Utes.
The challenge for this older of two Ward brothers on the Husky roster is to finally make his presence known in Montlake.Anthony Ward and his brother Isaiah Ward transferred together from Arizona to the UW. / Skylar Lin Visuals Anthony Ward is a 6-foot, 225-pound junior from Ontario, California, who has the unique distinction of spending the 2020 and 2021 seasons with Jimmy Lake's UW teams as a preferred walk-on before transferring to Arizona for two seasons to play alongside his younger sibling, Isaiah, an exceptional edge rusher who's joined him in Seattle.
Once Jedd Fisch took the Husky job, the Wards followed him north to a city that's actually been really good to their extended family.
