  2021 JOHNNY UNITAS GOLDEN ARM AWARD WINNER: Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett, whose prolific passing helped lead the Panthers to the first ACC Championship in program history, has been named the winner of the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, it was announced today by the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation and presenting partner A.O. Smith. Pickett has enjoyed a highly decorated month of December.

Last week, he was named the ACC Player of the Year. On Monday, he was announced as one of four finalists for the Heisman Trophy. The accolades have been well earned after he led the Panthers to an 11-2 record, their first ACC title and a berth in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Dec. 30. No. 12 Pitt will face No. 10 Michigan State (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten) at 7 p.m. that night on ESPN as the Panthers play in the New Year's Six for the first time during the College Football Playoff era. Pickett has achieved the most prolific season ever by a Pitt quarterback. Through 13 games, he has completed 67% of his passes (334 of 497) for 4,319 yards with 42 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. Including his five rushing scores, he has totaled 47 touchdowns this season. - Pitt Football

  12/06/21 - Phil Jurkovec, rSr/2024, Pittsburgh, 6-5, 243 (DS#31 QB) + More +

  Boston College quarterback Phil Jurkovec said on Monday that he will return for his senior season rather than enter the NFL draft. "I will be returning to Chestnut Hill in 2022 to complete my economics degree, improve all facets of my game, and compete nationally," he said in a statement issued by the school. "Let's win!" Jurkovec threw for 2,558 yards and 17 touchdowns in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. This year, he injured his right (throwing) wrist in Week 2 and missed six games before returning on Nov. 11. The Eagles went 4-2 in his starts in 2021 and are 10-6 in his career. He is fifth in school history with six 300-yard passing games in just 16 games played. - AP College Football

  12/04/21 - Kenny Pickett, rSr/2022, Pittsburgh, 6-3, 219 (DS#1 QB) + More +

  Pittsburgh's Kenny Pickett has the records - and now he has an Atlantic Coast Conference championship to go along with it. Pickett's ascent to a likely Heisman Trophy candidate and a prospective first-round NFL draft pick took another big step forward as he threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a 58-yard score, helping Pittsburgh defeat Wake Forest 45-21 on Saturday night and giving the Panthers their first ACC title. Along the way, Pickett set two passing records. Pickett's first touchdown pass of the game, a 22-yard toss on a swing pass to Rodney Hammond in the first quarter, broke Dan Marino's school record of 79 career TD passes. Pickett's second TD pass, a 4-yard toss to Jared Wayne in the second quarter on a slant route, established an ACC record for touchdown passes in a season with 42, eclipsing the mark of 41 set by Clemson's Deshaun Watson in 2016.

By midway through the fourth quarter, Pitt fans were chanting "Kenny Heisman." Alabama's Bryce Young is considered the heavy favorite to win the award, especially after he led the Crimson Tide to a big win against No. 1-ranked Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship game earlier Saturday. But Pickett will get some consideration, something few expected when the Panthers were picked to finish fourth in the ACC's Coastal Division at the beginning of the season. The recently named ACC Player of the Year got a huge assist Saturday night from his defense, which made adjustments in the second quarter and held the Demon Deacons scoreless on their 13 offensive possessions after spotting them three touchdowns and a 21-14 lead to open the game. The Panthers defense intercepted Sam Hartman four times and sacked him five times. Pickett displayed all of the qualities of an NFL prospect, showing a strong arm to make difficult throws on out-routes, quality decision making and the ability to make plays when the pocket breaks down. - Pittsburgh/AP College Football
