Syracuse football QB Eric Dungey on watch list for Unitas Award

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Eric Dungey is looking to close out his Syracuse football career with a big senior season.

The team's starting quarterback was named Tuesday to the watch list for the Unitas Golden Arm Award, presented annually to the nation's top college quarterback.

Candidates must be a senior or fourth-year junior on schedule to graduate, and the award recognizes a player's character, citizenship, academic achievement and leadership qualities, among his on-field success.

A native of Lake Oswego, Ore., Dungey is on track to earn a degree in accounting this schoolyear. He recently wrapped up a summer internship at Merrill Lynch in downtown Syracuse.
