Trevor Ward Even though Trevor Ward had been around his stepfather’s MMA training and gyms since he was 5 years old, by the time he went to college, he had split from the sport. His mother’s divorce from his stepfather made him focus more on soccer, and he was good enough to earn a spot on the team at Robert Morris University.
