Florida redshirt junior quarterback Emory Jones was named a top-25 candidate for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation and A.O. Smith Corporation announced on Thursday.
The Golden Arm Award is presented annually to the top upperclassmen quarterback in the country. A player must be set to graduate with his class to be eligible for the award.
A selection committee that consists of prominent college football journalists, commentators, announcers and former players will select the semifinalists, finalists and winner.
The award is named after Pro Football Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas, who played 17 seasons for the Baltimore Colts after a successful college career at Louisville.
