Steven Montez picked up preseason watch list honors for both the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm and Earl Campbell Tyler Rose awards on Wednesday. The new honors bring him to a total of four preseason lists after the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback was named to the Walter Camp and Maxwell in July.
Named after the NFL legend, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm award has been presented annually since 1987 to the nation’s top college quarterback. Candidates must be a college senior or fourth-year junior on schedule to graduate with their class. Criteria to be considered for the award include character, citizenship, scholastic achievement, leadership qualities and athletic accomplishments.
