Jones named to Golden Arm Award Watch List

Gators quarterback Emory Jones was named to the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Watch List, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation announced on Thursday.

The Golden Arm Award is presented annually to the top upperclassmen quarterback in the country. A player must be set to graduate with his class to be eligible for the award.

A selection committee that consists of prominent college football journalists, commentators, announcers and former players will select the semifinalists, finalists and winner.

The award is named after Pro Football Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas, who played 17 seasons for the Baltimore Colts after a successful college career at Louisville.
