Just as the Miami Hurricanes’ stock skyrocketed among playoff prognosticators on Saturday, quarterback Cam Ward’s stock rose among NFL evaluators.
Not only did CBS Sports move Ward into the first round (13th overall) in its Labor Day 2025 mock draft, but executives with two longtime draft prospect postseason showcase games raved about him on social media in the wake of his 385-yard passing performance in a 41-17 win against the Gators.
Jim Nagy, the executive director of the Senior Bowl, said this of Ward on X:
“Was with bunch of NFL scouts & execs last night in Tallahassee who were also in Gainesville on Saturday and all agreed Cam Ward’s performance vs. Florida was best of his career.
“Plenty of Ward’s clips from Week 1 have circulated on here but we chose this one because it shows his improved timing, threading ball out of the break to ultra-reliable slot Xavier Restrepo. Biggest difference from previous year’s tape study is @Cameron7Ward was playing more on-schedule rather than off-script, which is what @seniorbowl and NFL evaluators wanted to see.
“He’s a natural thrower with all the cool improvised arm slot stuff and he had multiple big-time completions that showcased all the various pitches he has in his bag. Spoke to @CanesFootball OC Shannon Dawson after the game and praised Ward for his “low heart rate” in a hostile environment at The Swamp.
“As good as the stats were, his WRs left some plays on the field. Also credit OL Coach Alex Mirabal’s unit, as well as TEs & RBs, for giving Ward ample time all day. While it’s only one game, this was easily Ward’s best tape we’ve seen over past three years of tape study.”
Meanwhile, Eric Galko — the director of football operations and player personnel for the Shrine Bowl — mentioned that Ward made “many throws” that “impressed NFL personnel” on Saturday and added:
“He’s in store for an incredible season, and no doubt he’s continued to improve every year over the last five seasons. But Cam’s playmaking, creativity and arm talent [have] been readily apparent throughout his college career. This season should be the culmination of the immense talent he has and potential he still possesses.”
Former NFL quarterback Chase Daniel, now working for FS-1, said “the first thing on film that jumps out” is “he may have the strongest arm” in college football.

I was just watching Chase Daniel’s breakdown of Cam (he is blown away) and realized something. If Brown gives a little bit more effort, he scores instead of going down at the one inch line and Ward has 4 TDs, winning the “Al Bundy 4 TDs in One Game Award" in his first game as a Miami Hurricane.

Yeah Brown better never play like.
that again. I'm sure he got a great NIL deal and slacking off is a horrible look.

It's just 1 game though so hopefully he was just having off day.

He's in the Top 3 in the early Vegas odds among Heisman candidates, too. Looks like he's going from a 3rd/4th rounder to a 1st rounder if he continues to perform like he did against UF. That's a serious move in both money and job security. Just keep winning, and I can't see how Miami doesn't become a destination for top portallers going forward.
