The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation Inc. announced its Watch List for the 2018 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. Notre Dame football’s Brandon Wimbush made the prestigious list.
The award has been presented annually since 1987 to the nation’s top college quarterback. The candidates for the award must be college seniors or fourth-year juniors on schedule to graduate with their class.
Wimbush made the list on the back of his overall play as a college quarterback in 2017. He accounted for 2673 total yards and 30 total touchdowns for the Irish last season.
In addition to his play on the field, his progress in the classroom helped him land a spot on the list.
