Miami HC Mario Cristobal Had Some Positive Words To Say About New Miami QB Cam Ward
Miami Hurricanes football head coach was talking to JD Pickett with On3 and he asked coach Mario, “What’s your impression on Cam Ward heading into spring ball.”
Pickett also asked coach Cristobal why they decided Ward was the right quarterback for Miami.
”He’s very intense on helping Miami become a prominent football program once again” said coach Mario Cristobal.
“He’s an explosive player,” Cristobal said. “He’s a great leader. He’s got a great presence about him. He’s been in big games, big situations, tough situations. He’s been overmatched, personnel-wise, and still finds a way to make some dynamic, explosive plays. He can manage a game and make a lot out of a little sometimes.”
Ward, a true dual-threat QB, attempted 485 passes in 2023. He also was credited with 120 rushing attempts that year. He had 3,735 total yards and 25 total touchdowns. For reference, Oregon’s Bo Nix had 4,373 total yards and 43 total touchdowns and Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. had 4,200 total yards and 36 total touchdowns on their way to being named Heisman finalists this year.
If Ward can go for 3,500-plus yards and 25 touchdowns at Washington State, he should be able to have success at Miami. And Canes coaches and teammates should want that for him, too. Quarterback success translates to team success in most circumstances. Uplift Cam’s potential, and good things will come for all.
Spring Ball starts this next week! Who is excited?
