Cam Ward's NFL Future Hyped By CFB Fans Despite Miami Loss vs. ISU in Pop-Tarts Bowl

After missing out on the College Football Playoff, the Miami Hurricanes were unable to end the 2024 season on a high note.

The Hurricanes fell to Iowa State 42-41 in the Pop-Tarts Bowl on Saturday and finish the 2024 season 10-3.

Quarterback Cam Ward only played in the first half of the game but that was enough for him to secure his place in history.

He set the Division I record for passing touchdowns in a career, breaking the previous mark of 155 set by Case Keenum.

Ward went 12-of-19 for 190 yards and three touchdowns in the opening half. Miami trailed 28-27 when he exited the matchup. Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reported that representatives from the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders were in attendance.

He finished his season with 4,313 passing yards with 39 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. He should be an early pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and will hope to translate his collegiate game to the professional level.

Fans took to social media to project Ward's draft position and NFL potential.

Ward finishes his collegiate career with 18,189 yards and finishes third all-time in passing yards in a career.

He will now turn his attention to the NFL Draft process and figuring out which team he will be taking snaps for in 2025.
