On Monday, days before the NFL Draft, the Under Armour said it has signed Cam Ward, Luther Burden III, Nick Emmanwori, Matthew Golden and Tyler Booker to the UA Football roster.
“Football is where Under Armour began — it’s in our DNA. Signing this class of elite players is more than a milestone, it’s a statement of who we are and where we’re going,” said Sean Eggert, senior vice president of global sports marketing for Under Armour. “These athletes are pushing the game forward in every sense, and we’re all-in on helping them reach the next level — with the best athlete and product innovation, and a brand that believes in their rise.”
Ward, a quarterback for the University of Miami, is expected to be the number-one pick in this year’s draft. With 4,313 passing yards and 39 touchdowns, Ward was a Heisman finalist and the winner of the Davey O’Brien and Manning Awards, as well as ACC Offensive Player of the Year, ACC Player of the Year, Consensus All American with Miami and the 2020 Jerry Rice Award with Incarnate Word.
