The black Washington St QB pulls his name out of the draft after receiving just a Shrine bowl invite and decided to go to Miami. He was not nearly as good as the media will make him out to be. Compare him at Washington St to Garner Minshew and Minshew was the better player. The below article states that Ward is known for his mobility which he actually is not. He also has a penchant for fumbling the ball - 46 in his career up to this point. Anyways, all summer the narrative will be that the "U" is back.

Cam Ward has doubled back on his plans to enter the NFL draft, committing to
Miami.
On New Year’s Day, the Washington State transfer quarterback declared for the NFL draft, but did not hire an agent. By making that move, returning to college was still an option. Nearly two weeks later, he’s announced plans to play at Miami.
The grad transfer will be immediately eligible to play for
Mario Cristobal and the Hurricanes in 2024. A former no-star recruit, Ward thrived the past two seasons on The Palouse, throwing for over 6,300 yards and 43 touchdowns.
Known for his mobility, he was ranked as the No. 1 quarterback in this year’s transfer portal,
according to On3’s Industry Rankings.
Viewed as the top quarterback on the market, he picked the Canes over
Florida State.
Louisville,
USC,
Nebraska and
Washington, among others, expressed interest along the way. He visited Coral Gables and South Beach, too, spending a night with Cristobal and
Rick Ross at
Prime 112.
Viewed by many coaches as a “baller,” the Incarnate Word star turned Washington State starter is
24−18 in 42 career starts. He gives Miami its next starting quarterback, stepping in for
Tyler Van Dyke who transferred to Wisconsin.
Miami had hosted
Kansas State transfer
Will Howard, who ultimately committed to Ohio State, before bringing in Cam Ward, but the Washington State transfer had always been the top target for the Hurricanes.
