Eric Morris, who previously recruited Patrick Mahomes, discovered quarterback Cam Ward at a 2019 football camp while coaching at Incarnate Word. Despite Ward’s high school team running the ball significantly more than passing, leading to skepticism from college recruiters, he excelled in college, playing at Incarnate Word, Washington State, and Miami, becoming a Heisman finalist.
