Saints met with 2025 draft sleeper running back from Boston College

The New Orleans Saints were one of ten teams to meet with Boston College running back Treshaun Ward at the Tropical Bowl:

The New Orleans Saints have had a few reported meetings so far this offseason with 2025 NFL draft prospects. One of the more recent meetings was with Boston College running back Treshaun Ward, who they met at the Tropical Bowl according to Ryan Fowler of The Draft Network.

Ward is a six-year collegiate player, with 2019 being his redshirt freshman season and 2020 being an extra season of eligibility due to Covid. Ward started out his college career with Florida State, remaining there for four seasons and accruing 27 games played, with 188 rushes for 1,241 yards (6.6 yards per carry), 12 touchdowns, and 28 receptions for 210 yards (7.5 yards per catch) with a touchdown.

He would then move on to Kansas State for a season, playing in 11 games and putting together a quality season of 124 rushes for 643 yards (5.2 YPC), 5 touchdowns, 17 receptions for 129 yards, and 2 receiving touchdowns. Then he would move on to spend his final season with Boston College, as he would also play in 11 games there, with 77 rushes for 406 yards (5.3 YPC) and 2 touchdowns, as well as 15 receptions for 268 yards and 4 receiving touchdowns.

He has some explosive plays here and there, and in one of his best games of the season against Michigan State, he showed that with a 36-yard rushing touchdown to take the lead. In that game he had 14 rushes for 102 yards (7.3 YPC) and a touchdown, as well as 2 receptions for 11 yards.

Ward is likely to be a mid to late day three pick, or a high-priority undrafted free agent at worst. With his capabilities on both the ground and in the receiving game, he may be worth looking at for the Saints who desperately need quality running backs behind Alvin Kamara.

Report Card: Young linemen, running backs stood out for the Sooners

With the final report card of the year, the Sooners’ young offensive linemen and running backs offer hope for the future.

Just like that, season 128 of Oklahoma football is done. By record, they were the worst Oklahoma team since 1998, finishing under .500 (6-7) on the season. However, after the Sooners’ performance against the No. 13 Seminoles, it’s hard to suggest they were as bad as that 1998 team.

Their performance against a good Florida State team offered hope. It provided encouraging signs as we head into the offseason.

Before doing so, we take a look at each position group and grade Oklahoma’s performance from the 35-32 loss to the Seminoles in the Cheez-It Bowl.
