Will Bettridge, a foreign-affairs major at UVA, and a placekicker on the football team with 20 field goals this season, is this year’s Jim Tatum Award winner, taking the honor given to the ACC’s top student-athlete among the football set.
Bettridge, a native of Miami, Fla., is a three-time member of the ACC All-Academic Team.
His LinkedIn profile reports that he interned last summer with wealth and investment management program at Wells Fargo in New York City, which is in line with his minor in entrepreneurship.
He’s also been a football-program representative on the UVA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and has been involved in the UVA Leadership Academy for the past three years.
On the football field, Bettridge is 20-of-24 on field-goal tries and 46-of-46 on extra-point tries this season.
With nine points (2-of-2 FGA, 3-of-3 XPA) in the season finale against Virginia Tech, Bettridge took over sole possession of third place on UVA’s all-time scoring list. He now has 302 career points and is 10 points behind Wali Lundy (312).
