Duke senior safety Jeremy Cash has been named the recipient of the 2015 Jim Tatum Award, ACC Commissioner John Swofford announced Thursday.
The Tatum Award is given annually in memory of the late Jim Tatum to the top senior student-athlete (in athletic eligibility) among the league’s football players.
The 2015 Tatum Award will be presented at the ACC’s Night of Legends event, which will be held Friday (5:30 p.m.) at the Charlotte Convention Center as part of the festivities held around the Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game.
Cash earlier in the week received the 2015 ACC Defensive Player of the Year award presented by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (ACSMA), making him the first student-athlete to receive the Tatum Award and a major ACC award in the same year.
