Twelve From ACC Earn All-America Honors

Twelve Atlantic Coast Conference football players earned at least one All-America team recognition from either the Walter Camp Football Foundation, Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, American Football Coaches Association or Sporting News this season.  

Clemson led the way with four players named to an All-America team, including unanimous first-team selection Isaiah Simmons at linebacker and consensus first-team pick John Simpson at offensive guard.  Running back Travis Etienne was named second-team All-America on all five teams and safety Tanner Muse was a third-team AP selection.

Pitt defensive tackle Jaylen Twyman was named second team on four different teams, including Walter Camp, AP, Sporting New and FWAA.  Virginia kick returner Joe Reed picked up All-America honors from Walter Camp (first team), Sporting News (second team) and FWAA (second team). Miami defensive end Gregory Rousseau, Syracuse punter Sterling Hofrichter and Wake Forest place-kicker Nick Sciba were named to two All-America teams.
