On Wednesday afternoon, TCU quarterback and former Lewis Central Titan Max Duggan was honored with the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award and was named the Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Year.
The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award is presented annually to the top quarterback in high school football. Quarterbacks who receive this award are judged not only on their statistics, but also on character, scholastic achievement and leadership qualities.
Duggan beat out other finalists including Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud, Oregon’s Beau Nix, Georgia’s Stetson Bennett and Tennessee’s Handon Hooker for the prestigious award.
Duggan is the first TCU player to win the Golden Arm award and is the second TCU student-athlete to earn the No. 12 Offensive Player of the Year award, joining Trevon Boykin who won the award in 2014.

In doing so, Duggan made only three interceptions. He also ran for 294 yards and five more touchdowns and has a quarterback rating of 79.7.
