Dudley Award

The Dudley Award, named after former Virginia running back Bill Dudley, is presented annually by the Richmond Times-Dispatch to one NCAA football player in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The idea for the award came from George Mancini, a former Boston College football player, who moved his family to Richmond, VA, and became extremely active with youth sports in the area.
