Syracuse senior defensive end Kingsley Jonathan has been named the recipient of the 2020 Jim Tatum Award, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced Tuesday.

The award is given annually in memory of the late Jim Tatum to the top senior student-athlete among the league's football players. Tatum, a two-time ACC Coach of the Year, coached in the 1950s at both Maryland and North Carolina and believed strongly in the concept of the student-athlete.

Jonathan has compiled a career 3.729 GPA while majoring in information studies. The Baltimore native is a three-time ACC All-Academic Team member and a three-time ACC Academic Honor Roll selection.
