For the second consecutive year, North Carolina Tar Heels senior guard Marcus Paige is the recipient of the Skip Prosser Award. The award, given to the top student-athlete in ACC men’s basketball, is the league’s highest academic honor.
To be nominated for the Skip Prosser Award, a student-athlete must be an upperclassman with a grade-point average of 3.0 or better – both in his career and in the previous two semesters. Sixty percent of the award is based on academic achievement and 40 percent on athletic accomplishments.
Presented annually, the Skip Prosser Award is named after the late and beloved, George Edward “Skip” Prosser.
