The Canes Connection Collective is inking deals with new additions to the Miami roster.
New Miami Hurricanes starting quarterback Cam Ward has officially inked a new NIL deal.
Ward was rated among the top quarterbacks in the Transfer Portal after throwing for 3,735 yards with 25 touchdowns to 7 interceptions at Washington State last season. His arrival at Miami has helped raise the expectations for Hurricanes football in 2024. Miami, along with Florida State and Clemson, are considered co-favorites in the ACC according to the projected win totals.
Canes Connection, Miami’s official NIL collective, announced this week that Ward has signed his deal. While there is no public record of what Ward’s actual NIL earnings will be, On3 Sports has given Ward an estimated NIL valuation of $934,000.
The collective also announced the signing of other Miami newcomers, including transfer center Zach Carpenter, transfer edge rusher Elijah Alston, freshman quarterback Judd Anderson, freshman offensive lineman Deryc Plazz, freshman linebacker Adarius Hayes, freshman defensive lineman Armondo Blount, freshman edge rusher Marquise Lightfoot and several others.
Canes Connection allows Miami fans to support Hurricanes student athletes with contributions that unlock exclusive member benefits and perks. The first tier is priced at $25 monthly. The collective has steadily built momentum since its 2022 launch.
