Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan is one of five finalists for the 2007 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. The 2007 winner will be announced live on December 3, 2007, from the Sports Legends Museum next to Camden Yards.
The Golden Arm Award is presented annually to the top senior quarterback by the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Foundation. The award acknowledges performance on the field, but it goes beyond completion percentage and touchdown strikes. The award values character, citizenship, integrity and those who honor the game.
Joining Ryan among the five finalists are Hawaii's Colt Brennan, Louisville's Brian Brohm, Oregon's Dennis Dixon and Kentucky's Andre Woodson.
The 2007 recipient will be honored at an award ceremony on December 7, 2007 at the Tremont Grand Meeting & Banquet Facility, in downtown Baltimore, Maryland.
Tonight's announcement - and the Dec. 7 award presentation - will be carried live at 7 p.m. on Comcast CN8's "Out of Bounds."
This prestigious award bears the name of who many refer to as the finest quarterback to ever play the game of football. Established in 1987, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award has previously honored 20 outstanding young men.
