Twelve Clemson Tigers Earn All-ACC Honors
After earning their sixth consecutive ACC Championship over the weekend, the Clemson football program had twelve players earn All-ACC honors for the 2020 season, tying Notre Dame for the most players selected by any one team.
Each one of the 15 teams in the league had at least one player named to the first, second, or third team, which were chosen by a vote of a select 49-member media panel and the league’s 15 head coaches. Three points were awarded for each first-team vote, two points for each second-team vote and one point for each third-team selection.
Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence and wide receiver Amari Rodgers led the way in the voting, with both players garnering 178 points. The two are joined on the first-team by running back Travis Etienne, who also earned first-team honors as the all-purpose back.
Freshman defensive tackle Bryan Bresee and cornerback Derion Kendrick earned first-team honors for the Tigers on the defensive side of the ball.
Offensive linemen Jackson Carman and Matt Bockhorst were named to the second-team on offense, while linebacker James Sklaksi, and defensive backs Nolan Turner and Andrew Booth Jr. were named second-team on defense.
Wide receiver Cornell Powell was named to the third team on offense.
