Reports Say Ward Has 10 Substantial NIL Offers, Including from UW

The University of Washington football team repeatedly got its hands on Cameron Ward in Saturday’s Apple Cup, sacking the Washington State quarterback 5 times.

The next time the Huskies latch onto Ward, they might not let him go.

On Tuesday, just 72 hours after Kalen DeBoer’s team emerged with a last-play 24-21 victory over Ward and the Cougars at Husky Stadium, intriguing yet unsubstantiated reports surfaced suggesting that 10 schools are dangling name, image and likeness deals worth at least $1 million in front of the WSU quarterback, said to be considering a graduate transfer.

Among them supposedly are Auburn, Oregon, Notre Dame, Texas A&M — and Washington.

Again, there is no way of verifying the offers, or even that Ward is considering passing up his final season in Pullman, because there are no current rules governing NIL and the signal-caller has made no public pronouncements on his football plans.
