Titans select QB Cam Ward No. 1 overall in NFL draft

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Cam Ward’s unlikely climb from unheralded high school quarterback through the college football ranks culminated in being selected by the Tennessee Titans with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday.

At Miami last season, Ward passed for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns, both single-season school records, en route to being selected the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year.

Ward began his collegiate career with two seasons at FCS Incarnate Word before transferring to Washington State, where he played two more seasons ahead of his final season at Miami.

In his second year at Incarnate Word, he passed for 4,648 yards and 47 touchdowns. In 25 games at Washington State, he threw for 6,963 yards and 48 touchdowns with 16 interceptions. He completed 65.5 percent of his passes (644-for-983) with the Cougars.

Last season for the Hurricanes, he connected on 67.2 percent of his passes and was intercepted just seven times.

Will Levis started 12 games for the Titans last season, throwing for 2,091 yards and completing 63.1 percent of his passes with 13 touchdowns and 12 picks.

The Titans provided Ward with another target, signing former Seattle Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett to a one-year deal on Wednesday.
