stud

1. a very masculine (and generally young) male person: a guy who is very strong, handsome, buff and/or atheletic: a handsome young jock
2. a boy or young man, not necessarily atheletic, who is quite academic in school: a very studious young fellow (altered after 'studious')

The football star was a total stud and got all the nice young ladies after the game. The stud always got A's in math.
