Lamar Jackson named ACC Male Athlete of the Year

Lamar Jackson claimed (presumably) the last of his many college honors on Thursday when he was named the ACC Male Athlete of the Year for 2017-18.

Here’s a portion of the press release from the ACC:

Jackson, who earned the 65th Anthony J. McKevlin Award as the conference’s premier male athlete, won the Heisman Trophy as a sophomore in 2016 and followed up last season with more eye-opening numbers as he accounted for an ACC-record 5,261 total yards with 45 touchdowns.

The ACC Athlete of the Year Awards are given in memory of distinguished journalists from the region.
