Florida Atlantic University Athletics
Florida Atlantic football’s starting quarterback Caden Veltkamp has been selected to the 2025 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Watch List, announced by the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation Inc. on Tuesday.
This marks another preseason accolade for the redshirt junior QB, who is also on the Maxwell Award Watch List, Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List and has been named to preseason All-Conference teams by various national outlets including Athlon and Phil Steele.
Named after one of the best signal callers in football history, the Unitas Golden Arm Award honors the top collegiate upperclassman quarterback based on both their on-field performance as well as their off-the-field character. Veltkamp, who is entering his first year with the Owls after winning the 2024 Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year, is well-positioned along with the 57 other QBs on the list, including three in the American Conference.
The watch list will be narrowed to semifinalists and finalists throughout the 2025 campaign, before the winning quarterback is announced in Baltimore during the month of December.
