PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (July 18, 2022) – Washington State quarterback Cameron Ward was named to the 2022 Maxwell Award Watch List, the Maxwell Football Club announced Monday.
The Maxwell Award is presented annually to the most outstanding player in college football. Ward, one of 86 players named to the list, is the first Cougar to be named to the Maxwell Award Watch List since running back Max Borghi prior to the 2020 season.
Ward transferred to Washington State this past January after two record-setting seasons at Incarnate Word in Texas. The sophomore from West Columbia, Texas won the Jerry Rice Award following the 2020 season, the award given to the most outstanding freshman player in FCS football after setting UIW single-season records with 2,260 yards and 24 touchdowns in just six games.
