Lamar was bestowed with the Anthony J. McKevlin award for Male Athlete of the Year. He was given the honor after having a junior year in which he had nearly identical statistics to his sophomore, Heisman winning season.
He also became the first player in NCAA history with back to back seasons of 3500 yards passing and 1500 yards rushing.
Congrats to former @UofLFootball star and current @Ravens QB Lamar Jackson on being voted the ACC's Male Athlete of the Year!
