Brock Vandagriff was one of 63 quarterbacks named to the watch list.

Kentucky quarterback Brock Vandagriff was one of 63 players named to the annual Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award watch list on Wednesday.

The award is presented to the top senior or upperclassman quarterback set to graduate with their class. Vandagriff was one of the Wildcats’ biggest hauls in the transfer portal in the offseason.

A former five-star quarterback from Prince Avenue Christian School in Bogart, Ga., he committed to Georgia in 2020. Vandagriff spent three years in Athens as a backup behind Stetson Bennett and Carson Beck.

He saw action in seven games a year ago and completed 12 of 18 passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns, including one in the Bulldogs’ 51-13 rout of Kentucky on Oct. 7 at Sanford Stadium.

The winner will be presented with the Golden Arm Award trophy on Dec. 6.
