The Junior superstar in Lubbock is starting to make major waves nationally. Not only is Patrick Mahomes being discussed nationally, he's being listed on every major watch list this off season.

The most recent being the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. This is the 5th award watch list for Mahomes, who is also a candidate for the Maxwell and Davey O'Brien Awards, which are the most prestigious offensive awards, as well as the AFCA Good Works Team and the Wuerffel Trophy, both community-service related honors.

According to texastech.com, The Johnny Unitas Award is presented annually to the nation's top college quarterback based on character, citizenship, scholarship achievement, leadership qualities and athletic accomplishments. The award will be presented at a Dec. 9 ceremony in Baltimore, Maryland.

On top of all of the award watch lists Mahomes is also creeping up the Heisman lists that are being put out and is a 30/1 Heisman favorite in Vegas right now.
