Washington State sophomore Cameron Ward was named to the Maxwell Award watch list on Monday. The quarterback transfer from Incarnate Word joins 85 other athletes to make the award watch list and is the first Coug to be named to the watch list since Max Borghi in 2020.
Last season, Ward threw for 4,648 yards and 47 touchdowns while completing just over 65% of his passes for the Cardinals. He was named to the FCS All-American second team, Southland conference Offensive Player of the Year, and a Walter Payton Award finalist. The year prior he won the Jerry Rice award and was named to the Southland All-Conference first team.
