SOUTH BEND, Ind. — University of Notre Dame graduate student quarterback Jack Coan was named to the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Watch List Thursday afternoon. The Golden Arm Award annually recognizes the top senior or upperclassman quarterback set to graduate with their class.
Coan joined the Irish in the spring as a graduate transfer after spending four years at Wisconsin. During his time with the Badgers, he played in 25 games while making 18 starts. He finished his Badger career ranked third all-time in completion percentage (68.0%) and third in pass efficiency rating (144.7) all-time and held a 12-6 record.
Prior to his final season at UW, he was named to the Golden Arm Award Watch List along with the Maxwell Award, Manning Award and Davey O’Brien Award Watch List. He ended up missing the entire 2020 season due to injury before transferring to Notre Dame.
This past week, the Dick Corbett Head Football Coach Brian Kelly named Coan the starting quarterback heading into the week one matchup against Florida State.
