Oregon Ducks starting quarterback Marcus Mariota was named one of the five finalists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award on Monday.
The other finalists for the award are Brett Hundley (UCLA), Cody Kessler (USC), Bryce Petty (Baylor), and Dak Prescott (Mississippi State).
Per Oregon's official website, "candidates for the Golden Arm Award – which has been presented at the end of each college football season since 1987 – must be college seniors or fourth-year juniors on schedule to graduate with their class. In addition to the accomplishments on the field, candidates are judged on their character, citizenship, scholastic achievement, and leadership qualities."
The current NCAA career leader in TD-to-INT ratio (7.67), Mariota is also a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award and Davey O'Brien Award, and is currently on watch lists for the Walter Camp Award and the Manning Award.
He is currently 32-4 as a starter in his collegiate career and is the only active quarterback in the Pac-12 with wins over all eleven of the other members of the conference.
