If Cam Ward ever needs motivation as he ascends to being one of the favorites to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, all he needs to do is remember his days as a zero-star, unrecruited high school recruit.
In the same way lower draft picks-turned-stars such as Amon-Ra St. Brown keep lists of all the players NFL teams picked ahead of them, Ward’s list could be of those college programs that missed out. After transferring to Miami for his final collegiate season, Ward turned a program that had been toiling away around the .500 mark into a contender for the College Football Playoff – falling just short.
Individual Accolades
Ward put himself in contention for the Heisman Trophy by recording 39 touchdown passes with a remarkable completion rate.
Last year, he achieved a quarter-century-high in passing touchdowns at the FBS level, showcasing impressive growth through college football.
He began his career at Incarnate Word, where he quickly made a name for himself before playing outstandingly at Washington State and recently at Miami.
