Ward had been linked to Ohio State and several other top programs. He almost certainly would have been able to sign a multimillion-dollar NIL deal given all the interest there was in him.

Ward is coming off an excellent season with Washington State, which finished 5-7 and is not bowl-eligible. Ward passed for 3,732 yards, 25 touchdowns and seven interceptions this season.

He also rushed for eight touchdowns. Ward began his college career at Incarnate Word in Texas but spent the last two seasons playing for the Cougars in Pullman.
