After a record setting 2011 season, Tyler Tettleton has been added to another watch list. Tettleton and fellow MAC quarterback Alex Carder of Western Michigan join 27 other quarterbacks from around the nation on the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Watch List.

The award has existed since 1987 in honor of Johnny Unitas, a record-setting professional quarterback during the 1970's. Unitas played most of his career with the Baltimore Colts. 

Last year's winner was Stanford's former QB Andrew Luck. Luck was drafted first in the 2012 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. 

During this offseason,Tettleton has also been named to the 2012 College Football Performance Awards Quarterback Watch List, the Lombardi Award Watch List, the Davey O'Brien Watch List, and the 2012 Manning Award Watch List. 

Ohio kicks off its season September 1 in State College against Penn State.
