The current captain of the Ipswich Town Football Club's academy - 18 year old Luke Hyam - also picked up an award on behalf of his teammates who all showed great educational effort and commitment whilst studying with Otley this year.
College spokesperson John Nice said: “Our prizegiving ceremony is a celebration of student achievement and is probably the most fulfilling event in the college calendar for both students and staff.
“We would like to congratulate Martin O'Hara for winning our student of the year award along with all of our winners. Although most of the winners are from Suffolk, this year we had award winners who live as far away as Clacton, Cambridge, Boston (Lincs) and Birmingham.”
