Terron Ward of De LaSalle... 5'7/190. Sounds like the prototypical Beaver back, eh?
Keep in mind that Maurice Jones-Drew was also from that school, and towered a might (Are you ready for this?) 5'7", as well.
Mo Jo-Drew seems to be doing Ok in the NFL.
"The only way to get anywhere in life is through hard work," Terrell said. "My dad taught that to me and I tried to teach it to my kids."
Terron’s older sister Tierra earned a track scholarship to UCLA. Terron’s older brother T.J. Ward (5-10, 201) is a strong safety for Oregon and a projected third-round pick in the 2010 NFL draft. T.J. has fought through a pair of knee surgeries.
"(T.J.) is my total inspiration," Terron said. "Whenever I feel down, I think of his determination."
I wonder if there is a walk-on in Oregon's future...

Be patient, the video has a long pause of close to 50 seconds before it starts.
