CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Kicker Will Bettridge was among 14 Cavaliers listed on the 2025 All-ACC Academic Football Team on Friday (Jan. 30). Awarded the Jim Tatum Award for the top senior student-athlete back in December, Bettridge becomes the first Cavalier ever to be a four-time member of the All-ACC Academic squad.
Offensive lineman McKale Boley and linebacker Trey McDonald were recognized for the third time in their careers. Bettridge, Boley and McDonald are among only 19 Cavaliers ever to be three-time honorees. Second year safety Ethan Minter was an All-ACC Academic Team selection for the second-straight year.
Since 1954, Virginia has produced 340 All-ACC Academic Team members.
