Tonight, the Virginia Cavaliers will receive the Capital One Cup at the ESPYs as a marker of the Hoos’ overall athletic success in the 2018-19 season. Former Virginia football star and NFL legend Chris Long will present the award to Lars Tiffany, Ryan Conrad, and Dave Smith of the lacrosse team.
This is the second time in five years that the Cavaliers have taken the top spot on the men’s side as 2014-15 saw Virginia win NCAA titles in soccer, tennis, and baseball. Long was the presenter that year, too.
“I guess I’m ‘the guy’,” Long said with a laugh in an interview with Streaking the Lawn.
