Ex-quarterback Ward takes post at Florida State

Charlie Ward, who won the 1993 Heisman Trophy while leading Florida State to a national championship, is returning to his alma mater as an ambassador, according to multiple media reports.

On Thursday, Ward resigned as head football coach at Booker T. Washington High School in Pensacola, Fla., and later in the day he confirmed that he would become a football ambassador for Florida State.

Ward's role with Florida State had not yet been specified.

"The job description is being done now," Ward told 247Sports. "Will have those details later in the month."

Ward said he did not sign a contract with his university.

Ward played football for the Seminoles from 1989-93, but did not play in the NFL, and instead spent 11 years in the NBA.

He became an assistant coach for the Houston Rockets and later was named an assistant basketball coach at Westbury Christian School in Houston in 2007.

Later that year, Ward was named head coach of the Westbury Christian football team.
