When Miami's 2024 season comes to an end, quarterback Cam Ward's name will be littered across the Hurricanes' single-season record books. The senior QB, who transferred in from Washington State during the offseason, has been dominant for The U, and will likely be in New York for the Heisman ceremony in a few weeks.

Ward was impressive once again during The U's 42–14 win vs. Wake Forest, throwing for 280 yards and two touchdowns (with one interception), adding a score on the ground. He now has 3,774 passing yards on the season, eclipsing program legend Bernie Kosar for the single-season school record during the win. Kosar threw for 3,642 yards in 1984. He was a second-team All-American and finished fourth in Heisman voting that season.
