The Greatest Soccer

One of the greatest awards a quarterback player in college football will ever achieve is the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. It is an award given annually to America’s outstanding senior quarterback in college football. It is given by the foundation named for Johnny Unitas, the hall of fame quarterback who started playing at the University of Louisville, and then made exemplary records in the National Football League for the Baltimore Colts. One of the many lucky recipients is Cade McNown, a quarterback from the University of California (UCLA).

Cade McNown received the Golden Arm Award in 1999. Up to the present, he is still the only UCLA quarterback who received the said award. He was an outstanding quarterback who was responsible for the most wins of his team during his senior year, especially during the Rose Bowl, wherein he led UCLA to a 10-2 game against the Bruins. The UCLA victory broke the Bruins’ school record of 20 games winning streak, and it was all because of him. Aside from that, he was also able to set myriads of school records both in passing and offense. With amazing performance and statistics, he was also able to gain many other awards such as Heisman Trophy (finished up third), Pac-10 offensive player of the year, and many more.

The recent winner of the Golden Arm Award was Scott Tolzien, former quarterback of the Wisconsin Badgers. Just like Cade McNown, he received the award for his amazing performance when he was a college football player.
