Ward, who is one of the nation's top prospects in the 2014 class, has been working to meet the necessary requirements to graduate a year early.
“(There is) about a 95 percent chance I'm going to (graduate early),” Ward said following Leedey's loss to Red Oak in the semifinals.
“I've been talking to some scouts and stuff. Well, my adviser has. They told me that I'm ready to do that. We kind of discussed it and decided to do it last year.”
Ward said he is being advised by Legacy Agency.
He also said he lacks just three block classes remaining after starting online last year on his senior requirements.
However, Ward said he is still interested in college.
“I really do want to go to college,” he said. “That's one of my priorities is college, get a degree and everything. I wouldn't mind going in the draft, but college is a priority for me.”
