Stone Gettings’ playing career with the Arizona Wildcats won’t stand out from the pack when compared to other transfers who have come to the program under Sean Miller. The same can’t be said about his academic accomplishments during his brief time at the UA.
Named the Pac-12’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year in March, Gettings picked up another scholastic accolade on Thursday when he received a Tom Hansen Conference Medal from the league.
Since 1960-61 the conference has awarded these medals “to each member institution’s outstanding senior male and female student-athlete based on the exhibition of the greatest combination of performance and achievement in scholarship, athletics and leadership,” according to a Pac-12 release.
