It only took Miami quarterback Cam Ward three starts with the Hurricanes to convince college football fans he's ready for the top of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Ward went 19-of-28 for 346 yards and five touchdowns on Saturday in Miami's 62-0 win over Ball State.

Ward, who threw four of his five touchdown passes in the first half and sat out the fourth quarter, did not need a full game to achieve a record-setting performance.

The win made him the first quarterback in Florida history to open a season with a trio of 300 passing-yard performances.
