Linehan Named to Unitas Watch List

BALTIMORE, Md. – Another day another watch list for the Vandals as senior quarterback Matt Linehan is among the nation's best on the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Watch List.

A second-team all-conference selection, Linehan was outstanding in 2016. He took home Famous Idaho Potato Bowl MVP honors after going 21-of-31 for 381 yards and four touchdowns to help Idaho take down Colorado State. On the season, Linehan finished first in the conference with 3,184 passing yards and second with 19 touchdowns.

With one season left to play, Linehan has already put himself in the mix as one of the best quarterbacks in program history.
