Though he won’t be playing for legendary coach Howard Schnellenberger, Atlantic senior Chad Ward will be one of the first class of players to break in Florida Atlantic’s sparkling new stadium.
Ward (6-3, 185, No. 18 on the Big Board) said Saturday he will commit to FAU. Ward said the location of the school and the Owls recently opened, 30,000-seat home were the reasons Ward pledged.
“Close to home. New stadium! Love the school,” Ward said, when asked his reasons for choosing FAU.
A physical, sure-handed presence as a receiver, Ward caught 12 passes for 173 yards and 1 touchdown as a junior and burst onto the recruiting scene with a big offseason. Ward had standout performances in 7-on-7 tournaments and Atlantic’s spring game win over Glades Central.
A two-star prospect according to Rivals, Ward also had an offer from Bryant. He said he always wanted his Delray Beach friends and family to be able to see him play on Saturdays.
“FAU was always at the top,” Ward said.
FAU went 4-8 in 2010, with a 3-5 record in Sun Belt Conference play. The Owls open 2011 at Florida and play four more road games before breaking in the as-of-now-unnamed stadium Oct. 15 against Western Kentucky.

"With him as the head coach," Ward continued, "they might throw the ball 40 to 50 times a game like he did at Texas Tech."
and even if Leach doesn't come, we have no depth at WR so good chance you can play next year buddy!

If your mind is made up, you don't keep talking about things like that?
