From The ACC...
GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) — Atlantic Coast Conference Jim Tatum Award winner and National Football Foundation Campbell Trophy finalist Jordan Mack of Virginia headlines the 2019 All-ACC Academic Football Team, announced Thursday by the league office.
Minimum academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team are a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one’s academic career. Athletic achievements during the most recent season are also considered in selecting the All-ACC Academic Team.
All 14 ACC Football member institutions were represented on the team. Duke led all schools with 11 selections, followed by Virginia (10), Clemson (8), Boston College (6), Syracuse (6), Virginia Tech (6), Louisville (5), Pitt (5), Wake Forest (5), Georgia Tech (3), NC State (3), Miami (2), North Carolina (2) and Florida State (1).
The ACC has selected an All-ACC Academic Football Team every year since 1954. The team was chosen from a pool of ACC football student-athletes who were nominated by their schools.
Clemson’s Sean Pollard (OL), Louisville’s Seth Dawkins (WR) and Mason King (P), Pitt’s Jimmy Morrissey (C) and Virginia’s Mack (LB) and Dillon Reinkensmeyer (OT) earned selection to the All-ACC Academic Team for the third time.
Twenty-three members of the All-ACC Academic Football Team also earned some form of all-conference recognition. Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Pitt’s Morrissey, Syracuse punter Sterling Hofrichter, Virginia specialist Joe Reed and Wake Forest wide receiver Sage Surratt were first-team all-conference selections in 2019.
The ACC Honor Roll, which recognizes all conference student-athletes with a grade point average of 3.0 for the current academic year, will be released in July.
