Ward was born on September 22, 1980, in Pasadena, California, to Jayce and Esmeralda Ward.[1] He attended John Muir High School where he played quarterback.[1] At Muir he was credited with 5,000 total yards as a Junior and Senior.[2] As a senior, he threw for 1,675 yards and ran for 400 more and scored 24 touchdowns.[2] He was a PrepStar Western Region team member, was the third ranked "athlete" (able to play multiple positions) in the country.[2] Ward was an All-Pacific League and West San Gabriel Valley as a junior and senior.[2]
During his freshman year Ward played mainly at cornerback and wide receiver. On defence he mainly played during nickel and dime packages and lined up with Deltha O'Neal to field kickoffs.[2] He recorded six kickoff returns for 78 yards which included a career-long 32-yard return against Nebraska. Ward made a key block on an O'Neal interception return for a touchdown against Rutgers.[2] His first collegiate interception came against Oregon with less than four minutes left in the game. As a wide receiver he caught a 43-yarder against Washington State and a 55-yarder against Brigham Young.

He mainly played on defence for the Golden Bears playing mostly in passing situations.[2] Against UCLA it was discovered that he had internal bleeding which caused him to miss the rest of the season.[2] However, he still had 17 tackles, four pass deflections and one interception.[2] His best game of the year came against UCLA when he had three unassisted tackles and a couple of pass deflections.[2]
