Miami lands QB Cam Ward after weeks of pursuit

The Cam Ward sweepstakes appears to finally be over in a result that is quite shocking after weeks of pursuit — Miami has their quarterback for the 2024 season.

After Miami hosted Ward in early December for a visit, things were trending in the Canes’ favor to land him over the likes of Florida State and the NFL Draft. Ultimately, Ward announced a decision to enter the draft two weeks ago, but never signed with an NFL agent. Despite his announcement and a commitment from Albany QB Reese Poffenbarger, Miami’s staff quietly and persistently pursued Ward over the last two weeks. And the end result is Ward pulling his name out of draft talks and enrolling at Miami this week.

The Miami quarterback room now has Ward, Poffenbarger, Jacurri Brown, Emory Williams, and incoming freshman Judd Anderson.

Absolutely true. He only made it ONE SENTENCE before he started moping again.

jimmy's and Jo's beat x's and o's

we have Guidry, I am a believer that Dawson with a qb like this can be a great OC..

as long as we don't have any kneeling catastrophe's, we are ******

I am pumped and everyone should be! The concern is that if Dawson and Cristomoron play the same offensive scheme, we are back to square 1! We must allow Ward, to play freely, throw to all WR, use the TE, scramble, and not play tight! This is a great day, but if things don’t change, banners will be flying on week 4!

Mario needed this for perception purposes. Ward was the best in the portal BUT I still have some concerns about whether Ward is all about himself or the team. Ward handled this entire situation poorly, imo. Nevertheless, we can all move on now.

Which is why I love that we got Poff as insurance. He's got that personality where he's going to be pushing in practice like he's a starter, and would be ready to go if anything happens.

Ik for a fact he was still contacting agents. He didn’t get that much optimism from scouts/agents about going day 2

You should be thread-banned just for all the bullcrap you spewed.

Or for your chronic lying.

@Cribby do you think Baby Tua’s impending waiver decision affected Wards decision?

Sorta like if Baby Tua’s waiver was granted and chose Miami, then Ward would be **** outta luck since both their college choices would be Miami?
