November 14, 2017 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER – Cowboy quarterback Mason Rudolph is one of five candidates remaining in contention for the 2017 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, the Golden Arm Award announced Tuesday.
The award is presented at the end of each season to the nation's top college quarterback, based on his accomplishments both on and off the field. Candidates must be a college senior or fourth-year junior on schedule to graduate with their class, as well as strong leaders who have demonstrated a commitment to excellence and worked hard for themselves and their teams.
On the field, Rudolph has quarterbacked OSU to a 30-8 career record as a starter, owns no fewer than 32 school records and last game reached his 20th career 300-yard passing game. He is OSU's all-time leading passer, leads the nation in passing yards this season and has a good chance to finish his career as the most efficient quarterback in school history.
Off the field, the senior out of Rock Hill, South Carolina, has been a valuable asset to the community. His volunteer work with numerous community organizations has included service with Coaches vs. Cancer, Read Across America, the YMCA, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Tim Tebow's Night To Shine Prom, Future Farmers of America, Grace Living Center (Nursing Home), Stillwater Medical Center, Nike N7, University Heights Baptist Church, First United Methodist Church, the Manning Passing Academy and more. He's also been recognized on various lists for the Maxwell Award, the Wuerffel Trophy, the Davey O'Brien Award, the Manning Award and the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.
Rudolph is joined in the final five for the Golden Arm Award by J.T. Barrett of Ohio State, Ryan Finley of North Carolina State, Baker Mayfield of Oklahoma and Trace McSorley of Penn State.
The 2017 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award will be presented at a ceremony on Friday, Dec. 8, in Baltimore, Maryland.
