BALTIMORE, Md. – Redshirt senior quarterback Ethan Garbers on the UCLA football team was one of 63 student-athletes named to the 2024 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Watch List, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation announced on Saturday.
The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award annually recognizes the top senior or upperclassman quarterback set to graduate with their class. The preseason Watch List, semifinalists, finalists and award recipients are selected by the distinguished Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Selection Committee, a group of prominent college football journalists, commentators, announcers and former players.
Garbers enters 2024 as the Bruins' top man under center after making six starts in 2023. His junior campaign was highlighted by a season-high three scoring passes in a 38-20 victory over crosstown rival USC at the LA Memorial Coliseum and a dominant showing off the bench in a 35-22 win over Boise State in the LA Bowl, resulting in Offensive MVP honors.
Cade McNown, who earned the honor in 1998, is the only Bruin to take home the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award in its 36-year history.
This year's award winner will be presented the Golden Arm Award trophy at the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award celebration at the Four Seasons Hotel in Baltimore, Md., on Friday, Dec. 6, 2024.
The Bruins' 2024 season will begin Saturday, Aug. 31 at 4:30 p.m. (PT), as UCLA travels to Honolulu to face Hawai'i. The contest will be televised on CBS. UCLA's home opener at The Rose Bowl features its first-ever Big Ten Conference matchup versus Indiana on Saturday, Sept. 14 at 4:30 p.m.
