Player Profile: Running Back James Ward

James Ward was initially recruited to Wake Forest as a defensive back. In fact, he played in all 12 games as a true freshman in 2012, and even started in one game. When Coach Clawson took over in December of 2013, he inherited a roster that had a dearth of running backs. To be able to make it through spring practice, Coach Clawson converted Ward from defensive back to running back. Unfortunately, Ward suffered a broken leg during last year's spring game and missed the 2014 season due to injury. What can we expect from him this season?
