Shedeur Sanders Wins Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award

Shedeur Sanders, quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes, has been awarded the prestigious Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, recognizing him as the nation's top senior quarterback for his character and athletic performance. He achieved this accolade following an impressive season where he set Colorado's single-season records for passing yards (3,926) and touchdowns (35), surpassing a 28-year-old record. His performance in the final regular-season game against Oklahoma State included 438 passing yards and five touchdowns, showcasing his prowess and securing his place in college football history. Sanders, who transferred from Jackson State with his father, Coach Deion Sanders, has been instrumental in the Buffaloes' transformation from a 1-11 record to a 9-3 season. Looking ahead, Sanders is projected to be a top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, with his achievements making him a viable Heisman Trophy contender alongside teammate Travis Hunter. Both Sanders and Hunter have significantly contributed to the team's success, with Hunter also being a top draft prospect.
