Cam Ward, the explosive signal-caller gearing up for the 2025 NFL Draft, is impressing fans with his cannon arm. He’s also making headlines with his sweet and steady relationship. Ward’s romance with former college volleyball player and current marketing coordinator Nailah Landon has quietly bloomed in the background.
Cam Ward’s Love Story That Began on Campus
Ward’s football career got underway in earnest at the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) in San Antonio, where he established himself as a true freshman quarterback. It was there that he also met Nailah Landon, a top performer on the university volleyball team.
Landon initially attended Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida, where she established herself in her freshman year with 31 kills and 39 blocks in 44 sets. She transferred to UIW, where she tallied 29 blocks in four games during the COVID-shortened 2020 season.
Off the field, she worked toward a bachelor’s degree in communication and media studies, balancing a heavy course load with the rigors of college athletics.
After graduation, Landon seamlessly transitioned into the sports business world. She was a marketing specialist for Front Runner Sports prior to joining the Miami Marlins and LoanDepot Park as a marketing coordinator.
This professional decision brought her closer to Ward, who moved to the University of Miami to continue his football-playing career and improve his NFL Draft standing.
Their relationship seems solid and supportive, with Landon often cheering Ward on from the sidelines. In December 2024, when Ward was announced as a Heisman Trophy finalist after a record-breaking season that saw him throw for more than 4,000 yards, Landon shared a heartfelt tribute on TikTok.
“Proud moment: My boyfriend is a Heisman finalist,” she captioned clips of their time together.
Landon’s internet presence is a quiet yet sweet recap of Ward’s ascension. Her Instagram timeline is filled with game posts, travel, and behind-the-scenes peeks of both their lifestyles. In all their success separately, it’s apparent they also keep their minds concentrated on the goals and dreams for one another.
A Shared Vision of The Couple’s Future
As the NFL Draft approaches, rumors surrounding Ward’s destination remain on fire. But it’s Landon’s lighthearted Instagram reply that recently electrified fans and pundits in equal measure.

When Ward shared a draft-themed picture on Instagram, Landon joked, “FIRST!” alluding to his chances of being picked No. 1 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, with the Tennessee Titans being touted as one of the favorites to make a play.
The low-profile nature of this couple is just one of their endearing qualities. As Ward gets set to make his next big leap on the gridiron, there’s no question Landon will be right alongside him, cheering him on and toasting each triumph.
