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.

Let's go get Bond at WR and we're cooking in 2024. (A CB and safety would be nice also)

we came up with some more $$$$, then came down in their demands and BOOM a compromise was reached. Now lets see if they (Dawson & Mario) can take advantage of this type of talent

He better be worth the hype is all I’m gonna say.

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!

Who cares? FTR I hope he stays and battles for 2025.

He's only 1 snap away regardless.

I’m sorry, Mario. Wow.

There we go a little patience and helping of humble pie.

Welcome back to being a UM fan again.

Hopefully you will allow yourself to enjoy this for awhile before you find another reason to hate on our program.
