One outstanding member of each Tar Heel team was honored on Saturday, Feb. 23, as UNC announced winners of the Athletic Director's Scholar-Athlete Awards for 2018-19. The award recipients were recognized at halftime of the North Carolina-Florida State men's basketball game at the Dean E. Smith Center.
The award goes annually to a junior or senior on each team who has displayed academic excellence while representing North Carolina in a varsity sport.
"Watching the winners of this award applauded at center court every year is truly special," said UNC Director of Athletics Bubba Cunningham, who joined the student-athletes on the court.
