Miami Hurricanes quarterback Carson Beck was named one of the nation’s top 25 quarterbacks for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation, and A. O. Smith Corporation announced Tuesday.
The Golden Arm Award annually honors the nation’s top senior or upperclassman quarterback who demonstrates excellence on the field and leadership off it, along with strong character, citizenship, and academic standing.
Beck has held a massive role in guiding the Hurricanes’ offense to a 5-0 start and a No. 2 national ranking. The Jacksonville, Fla., native has completed 102 of 139 passes (73.4%) for 1,213 yards and 11 touchdowns.
He was also named the Panini Senior Bowl Offensive Player of the Week, the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Quarterback Player of the Week, and earned Davey O’Brien “Great 8” recognition following his four-touchdown performance in Miami’s 28-22 win at Florida State.
The 2025 Golden Arm Award list was trimmed from 58 preseason candidates to 25 semifinalists. The honor, now in its 39th year, will be presented in December at the Four Seasons Hotel in Baltimore, the hometown of Johnny Unitas.
