Nobody defines a player’s final destination except him. The Miami Hurricanes (8-0) phenom passer is the walking, running, and throwing proof of it. But this 6 ft 2 hurricane hit the Miami shores a bit late, but surely hard. Cam Ward came from being a zero-star recruit to now in the Heisman conversation even when he goes shopping. He’s on everybody’s lips as the favorite.

If college football had its own superhero, this season’s cape would go to the Canes Cam Ward. The Hurricanes quarterback has not only stormed into the Heisman debate but is labeled “the best football player in America” by the CBS Inside College Football crew. He’s at the top of two out of four CBS Heisman ballots, showcasing stats that have fans and analysts alike chanting his name. When he wasn’t No.1 in their ballot, he was second at worst. Dillion Gabriel takes his place in the others pick.

Ward’s journey from a humble Wing-T offense in high school to dominating college football in Miami has been nothing short of meteoric. Entering this week, Miami #1 is second in the country with 2,746 passing yards and 24 passing touchdowns.

His consistency helps Miami run the state in the ACC, as he’s carves up defenses with precision and versatility. In fact, he has the right to sit at the same table as Miami legends, Vinny Testaverde and Gino Torretta, the only other Hurricanes to bring home a Heisman.

Therefore, the CBS’s Brian wasn’t shy to call him “cooler than the cool kids”. Watch him continue, as Miami prepares week 10 for Duke. “His mindset is that of a linebacker who is trying to kick you’re a– on every single play. He’s an alpha dog,” said Canes HC Mario Cristobal about the Washington State transfer who has helped Miami surge to No. 5 undefeated.
