Sean Glennon added to the 2008 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm preseason watch list

1035 views

Well I'm not sure what type of chance he will have to win this award if he ends up splitting time with Tmobile but according to the award's official website - Sean Glennon was just added to the 2008 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm preseason watch list (awarded to the most outstanding senior quarterback).

"The winner of the Golden Arm Award is recognized not only for his athletic accomplishments, but also for his character, citizenship, scholastic achievement, leadership qualities, and athletic abilities," says John Unitas, Jr., President of the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation, Inc. The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award bears the name of the man many refer to as the finest quarterback ever to play the game of football.

Good luck Sean! You win that award we win the ACC!

There are very few top level senior QBs these days in college football because if they're that good, then generally they're gone after their junior year. I'm not saying there aren't good senior QBs, I'm just saying that if Glennon is among those in the "watch list" with his background, then the pickings must be slim.

Well - I think its a few things:

  • This is just a weak senior class this year (a class headlined by Chase Daniel and Pat White? come on). Which is why you saw teams reach for QB's in the 2008 nfl draft.
  • It's just a "watch list" so any senior qb with any stats (which Sean has plenty) is added
  • (Like NC_Hokies said) If Sean is the solo starter (and we can find some wrs) - he has shown the skill to pile up numbers (outside of bowl games) and is a good season away from striking distance of all types of VT records

If Sean can make better decisions and obviously keep his int's down, he could have a shot at this award. I hope he can do both because we don't need to help the opponents out like we did at times last year.
