Cam Ward breaks Miami's single-season passing yards record
Cam Ward has made history throughout his first season with Miami, and he now stands alone as it pertains to the Hurricanes’ single-season passing yards record.
The star quarterback moved beyond Bernie Kosar’s mark of 3,642 yards on Saturday afternoon against Wake Forest. It’s Ward’s record now, and he’s looking to continue adding to it over the rest of Week 13’s clash, and next week’s game against Syracuse.
As the Miami Football X account put it, Ward has truly been “1 of a kind” for the Hurricanes in 2024. His play in 2024 is a revelation for the program, as they were starved for solid quarterback play throughout the last couple of seasons.
Prior to his time with Miami, Ward played two seasons with the Washington State Cougars. While showing off his stuff inside the Pac-12, he played against some of the best teams in the country, continually elevating his game to the tune of 6,968 passing yards, 48 touchdowns and 16 interceptions.

It’s his time at Miami that has him in the conversation to be the top overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft though. Ward has thrown over 30 touchdowns while only tossing six interceptions, taking care of the football while also taking chances downfield. It’s been impressive to see him play throughout 2024.
It remains to be seen how bright Cam Ward can shine, but Miami fans will certainly miss his impact when he inevitably moves on to the NFL in 2025. Still, the Hurricanes have all of their goals ahead of them, and Ward has unfinished business with the program before anything.
