Ward won the 1993 Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award, and Davey O'Brien Award as
a quarterback for Florida State University, and subsequently led the
Seminoles to their first-ever National Championship when FSU defeated
Nebraska 18–16 in the 1993 Orange Bowl. The Seminoles had suffered their
only defeat of the season to a second-ranked Notre Dame team, but their path
to the National Championship was cleared a week later when the Irish were
upset at home by Boston College. Ward holds the second-largest margin of
victory in the history of Heisman trophy balloting, with a 1,622 point
difference, second only to O.J. Simpson's 1,750 point win in 1968.[2] He was
also the only Heisman winner to play in the NBA. In 1993, Charlie Ward won
the James E. Sullivan Award from the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) as the
most outstanding amateur athlete in the United States. He was elected to the
College Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
Though Ward did not play baseball in college, he was drafted as a pitcher by
the Milwaukee Brewers in the 59th round of the 1993 free agent draft and in
the 18th round by the New York Yankees in 1994. An avid tennis player, Ward
also shined in the Arthur Ashe Amateur Tennis Tournament in 1994.
Ward was a model student-athlete at Florida State. As a senior and captain
of the team in 1993, he voluntarily approached Seminoles head coach Bobby
Bowden about a difficult situation surrounding incoming freshman Warrick
Dunn, whose mother, policewoman Betty Smothers, was killed in the line of
duty during Dunn's senior year of high school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Charlie served as a surrogate big brother to Dunn during the latter's first
year in Tallahassee, helping him through a trying time by becoming his
roommate and friend.
Ward also played basketball for four years at Florida State University (FSU)
. Former teammates included future NBA players Bob Sura, Doug Edwards and
Sam Cassell. His 1993 team made it to the Southeast Regional Final where
they lost to Kentucky 106–81 with the winner advancing to the Final Four.
Ward's 1992 team made the Sweet Sixteen. He made the game-winning shot in
its Metro Conference Tournament Championship game win over Louisville in
1991. Ward still holds FSU basketball records for career steals at 236,
steals in one game at 9 and still ranks sixth all-time in assists at 396. He
played a shortened season his senior year, joining the basketball team just
15 days after winning the Heisman Trophy. He started 16 games at the point
guard position that year, and averaged a college career high of 10.5 points
and 4.9 assists for the season. |
