Three touchdowns during half Ward was 12-for-19 passing for 190 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 42-41 defeat versus Iowa State. Impact Ward was Miami's starting quarterback during the first half before he was relieved in favor of Emory Williams. This is so the former could avoid injury before turning pro, which is now a must and will happen. Despite entering the 2025 NFL Draft as a senior, Ward will be one of this year's most touted quarterback prospects available. This is because of a 2024 season that saw him complete 305 of 454 pass attempts for 4,313 yards and a 39-7 TD-INT ratio. Ward also established himself as a capable runner by logging 60 carries for 204 yards (3.4 averaged per carry) and four rushing touchdowns. He and Shedeur Sanders will compete to be the highest-drafted quarterback this year.
