PULLMAN, Wash. — Former Washington State University Quarterback Cam Ward announced Monday he plans to enter the 2024 NFL draft.
The WSU football star took to Twitter Monday morning to announce his intent to enter the draft. In the five second video announcement, Ward simply said, "What's up? It's Cam Ward, and I'll be declaring for the 2024 NFL draft."
The news comes just one month after Ward announced plans to enter the transfer portal as a grad transfer.
Ward was fourth in the country throwing for for 3,736 yards and 25 touchdowns this season for the Cougars. But it was a tumultuous season for Washington State that started with the school being left out in the latest round of conference realignment, included a 4-0 start and was followed by a six-game losing streak.
Ward was at the center of praise for Washington State's hot start but also criticism for the losing streak that cost the Cougars a chance at a bowl game. Washington State's season ended last week with a 24-21 loss to rival Washington.
If Ward stays in college this will be his second transfer. He started his career at FCS school Incarnate Word, where he threw for 4,648 yards and 47 touchdowns in the 2021 season. Ward arrived in Pullman before the 2022 season and threw for 3,232 yards and 23 touchdowns in his first season with the Cougars.
