Ward joined the Hurricanes in 2022 after two seasons with Washington State, taking his game to the next level. He finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy award voting and was named an All-American behind 305 completions on 454 pass attempts. He threw for 39 touchdowns, 4,313 passing and only seven interceptions.
