In just one season, quarterback Cam Ward transformed the Miami Hurricanes’ offense, setting a new standard for excellence and leaving a legacy that future quarterbacks, like Dereon Coleman, aspire to emulate.

Ward’s journey from a zero-star recruit at Incarnate Word to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft is a testament to his resilience and skill.

Cam Ward explains why he talks trash to Shedeur Sanders and anybody that competes with him

At Miami, he shattered records, throwing for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns, earning accolades such as the ACC Player of the Year and the Davey O’Brien Award. His leadership and performance have set a high bar for those who follow.

Coleman, a 4-star recruit from Jones High School in Orlando, committed to Miami in July 2024. Standing at 6 feet tall and weighing 160 pounds, he has demonstrated exceptional athleticism and leadership on the field.

In his sophomore year, he led Jones High to a 10-4 record and a deep playoff run, completing 63.4% of his passes for 2,236 yards and 16 touchdowns, while also rushing for 247 yards and four scores. Coleman’s commitment to Miami was a significant win for the Hurricanes, as he chose them over other notable programs.

During the Elite 11 finals in California, Coleman shared insights into his journey, stating, “I think my journey’s been rocky. My journey was never clean.

“I always had adversity in everything I did, so I just had to overcome all that.” This resilience mirrors Ward’s own path, highlighting a shared determination to succeed despite challenges.

When asked about Ward’s influence, Coleman recalled, “He said the same thing. What I say is, ‘Don’t let them tell you what you can or can’t do.’

Because he came from way below than what I am. So that actually hits my heart when he says it, too. So, I just know I can do what I want to do if I put my heart to it.” These words reflect the mentorship and inspiration Ward provides to the next generation of quarterbacks.

The future of Miami football: Coleman’s vision

As Ward transitions to the NFL, the quarterback position at Miami is poised for a new era. Coleman is set to step into this role, bringing with him a blend of skill, determination, and a commitment to excellence.

His vision for the future is clear: “Imagine me being there for 3-4 years. That says it all. We are going to go win a national championship.”

With Ward’s legacy as a foundation, Coleman is ready to lead the Hurricanes into a new chapter, aiming to build upon the success of his predecessor and achieve even greater heights.

As the Miami Hurricanes look ahead, the shadow of Cam Ward looms large, but with it comes the promise of a bright future under the leadership of Dereon Coleman.

Lionel Messi scores ridiculous free kick goal for Inter Miami in upset win over Porto at Club World Cup

Getty Images There are few things more automatic in soccer than Lionel Messi from a free kick, and it's something that Porto experienced in the Club World Cup Thursday. After heading into the half behind 1-0, Inter Miami turned it on in the second half of play with Telasco Segovia scoring an equalizer before Messi scored a sick free kick for a huge 2-1 upset. Porto played with fire on Messi's first chance, setting up a two-man wall, but giving the Argentine two shots, he's going to nail one.  He split a four-man wall from a free kick, bending it past Porto keeper Claudio Ramos at his post. With the referee cam, a new view that was introduced for the Club World Cup, Messi's goal can be seen via a first-person view, which shows how stunning it was. With Miami […]
