UA coach Jedd Fisch indicated he would consider adding a quarterback via the portal to join a group of incumbents who mostly struggled in 2021. The current QB room features Will Plummer, Jordan McCloud and Gunner Cruz. Freshman Noah Fifita is also set to join the team in January.
Per his Twitter account, Ward also has received offers from Indiana, Houston, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech, North Texas, Western Kentucky and Prairie View A&M.
Ward, a late bloomer who drew minimal recruiting interest coming out of West Columbia, Texas, exploded in his second season at Incarnate Word, an FCS program in San Antonio. Ward threw for 4,648 yards in 13 games this past season, completing 65.1% of his passes. In 19 career games, Ward has passed for 6,908 yards and 71 touchdowns.
Arizona also made the top five for a four-star quarterback in the class of 2023. Brayden Dorman of Colorado Springs, Colorado, tweeted a final five of Arizona, Colorado, Iowa State, Mississippi State and Oregon State.
