Adding another distinction to a growing list, quarterback Matt Schaub was one of 26 candidates announced for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award watch list. The award is given annually to college football's top senior quarterback. The extensive list for the award will be reduced to five by Oct. 22, and the winner will be announced on Dec. 4.
The honor is given in the name of NFL Hall of Famer and University of Louisville alum Johnny Unitas, an 18-year veteran of the NFL who is considered one of the greatest professional quarterbacks of all-time. Last year's award winner, former USC quarterback Carson Palmer, continued in his senior year to win the Heisman Trophy and become the NFL's top draft pick.
Schaub, after an impressive junior year where he was named ACC Player of the Year, is the top-rated returning quarterback in the nation and is also a Heisman Trophy candidate.
