Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Colorado's Shedeur Sanders was named winner of the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award on Friday, an honor given to the nation's top quarterback.
Sanders will be honored next Friday in Baltimore.
Later in the day, Sanders passed for 438 yards and five touchdowns during the Buffaloes' 52-0 shellacking of Oklahoma State.
Sanders set school records this season of 3,926 passing yards and 35 touchdown passes. It is the second straight season in which he set the school yardage mark.
Sanders has completed 74.2 percent of his passes while accumulating 35 touchdown passes and just eight interceptions. No. 25 Colorado (9-3, 7-2 Big 12) is averaging 34.5 points per game, and it's possible the Buffaloes could be in the conference title game next week.
Coach Deion Sanders, father of Shedeur, said his son would play in whichever bowl game the Buffaloes are invited. Shedeur Sanders is considered a first-round pick in the 2015 NFL draft.
The other finalists were Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss, Dillon Gabriel of Oregon, Kurtis Rourke of Indiana and Cam Ward of Miami.
