Rocco Becht named to Golden Arm Award watch list for 2026 season

Penn State quarterback Rocco Becht is a candidate for the Golden Arm Award as the 2026 season approaches. With 42 games and over 9,000 passing yards in his collegiate career, Becht has transitioned from Iowa State to the Big Ten, bringing valuable experience to the Nittany Lions. The Golden Arm Award honors upperclassman quarterbacks demonstrating leadership and on-field success. No Penn State quarterback has previously won the award, but several past winners, including Peyton Manning and Joe Burrow, have had notable NFL careers. Becht aims to be the first Nittany Lion to secure this accolade while establishing his future in professional football.
