Cam Ward was honored as the nation’s top quarterback on Thursday, winning the Davey O’Brien Trophy.

Ward finished in fourth place, behind Hunter, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty and Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Ward is the first Miami player to be a Heisman finalist since quarterback Ken Dorsey and running back Willis McGahee were honored in 2002. “You’ve just got to have elite confidence in yourself, in your teammates, and you’ve got to have faith in God,” Ward said in an interview with ESPN.
