It is not just the coaching staff at Georgia Tech that is giving praise to quarterback Jeff Sims this offseason.
On Thursday morning, Sims was named to the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Watch List. The Unitas Golden Arm award annually honors college football's top upperclassmen watchlist.
Sims is hoping that under the tutelage of new quarterbacks coach Chris Weinke and offensive coordinator Chip Long, he can live up to the talent that he has shown flashes of. Sims has the talent to be one of the better dual-threat quarterbacks in the ACC and the offense is going to be counting on him to take the next steps.
Sims is going to be tested right away in the season opener against Clemson in less than two weeks. He could use that as a springboard to a great season.
