JONESBORO, Ark. – Arkansas State senior quarterback Justice Hansen has been named to the 2018 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Watch List, announced Tuesday by the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Education Foundation, Inc.
Hansen makes his second appearance on the award’s watch list after also receiving the recognition in 2017 as a junior. He is one of four all-time Arkansas State players to ever appear on the list, but the first to do it more than once. Hansen was eventually tabbed a “Top 20” candidate for the award last season during the month of October. Former A-State quarterbacks Fredi Knighten (2015), Ryan Aplin (2012) and Corey Leonard (2009) also previously appeared on the watch list.
