BALTIMORE (August 22, 2023) – Washington State quarterback Cameron Ward was named to the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Watch List, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation announced Tuesday.
Ward is one of 48 quarterbacks up for the award that annually recognizes the top senior or upperclassman quarterback set to graduate with their class. This year's watch list was selected based on career player performance and expectations heading into the 2023 college football season. Gardner Minshew II won the award in 2018.
Last season, in his first season with the Cougars, Ward was named All-Pac-12 Conference Honorable Mention after starting all 13 games, leading WSU to its seventh straight bowl game and throwing for 3,231 yards and 23 touchdowns.
