Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett was honored with a spot on the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award watch list on Tuesday. The award is given by the Golden Arm Foundation and honors the best fourth-year or senior quarterback in the country. It has been issued every year since its inception in 1987.
The Panthers signal-caller is coming off the best campaign of his collegiate career, as he became just the fifth quarterback in Pitt’s history to throw for 3,000 yards in a single season. All told, Pickett threw for a total of 3,098 yards and 13 touchdowns with nine interceptions.
