ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. believes it is quarterback Cam Ward's "year to shine" after transferring from Washington State to Miami for the 2024-25 season.
"He can sling it, even though he has an unorthodox delivery that might raise some eyebrows from scouts," Kiper wrote. "And while he forces things at times, Ward is extremely accurate (66.6% completion rate in 2023).
"He could emerge in this QB class, particularly with the talent around him now."
Ward, who had previously declared for the 2024 NFL Draft, announced in January he would be using his final season of college eligibility to transfer to Miami after two years with Washington State.
