Former Washington State quarterback Cameron Ward isn’t transferring to another school after all.

Ward announced Monday in a short video that he was declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft. It’s a decision that could have ramifications across all of college football.

Ward was perhaps the most coveted transfer quarterback remaining in the portal. He announced at the end of the regular season that he was exploring a transfer from Washington State and was immediately linked to top programs across the country like Ohio State, Miami and others.

Instead, he’s heading to the NFL. And there are now two fewer quarterbacks available for schools like the two mentioned above if they are looking for a new quarterback for the 2024 season. Hours after Ward declared for the NFL Draft, ex-Oregon State QB DJ Uiagalelei committed to Florida State.
