Florida State’s Gibbons Headlines All-ACC Academic Football Team
GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Atlantic Coast Conference Jim Tatum Award winner Dillan Gibbons of Florida State headlines the 2022 All-ACC Academic Football Team, announced Tuesday by the league office.
All 14 ACC Football member institutions were represented on the team. Clemson led all schools with 29 selections, followed by Duke (25), Virginia (24) and Virginia Tech (24). The ACC has selected an All-ACC Academic Football Team every year since 1954.
Three-time All-ACC Academic Team selections include Boston College DE Marcus Valdez, Clemson PK B.T. Potter, NC State OL Grant Gibson and LS Joe Shimko, Pitt DL Deslin Alexandre, Virginia Tech LB Dax Hollifield and Wake Forest WR Taylor Morin.
Forty-one members of the All-ACC Academic Football Team also earned some form of all-conference recognition. Clemson’s Will Shipley (RB/AP), Duke’s Graham Barton (OL), Florida State’s Dillan Gibbons (OL), Miami’s Lou Hedley (P), NC State’s Grant Gibson (C) and Chandler Zavala (OG), North Carolina’s Drake Maye (QB/ACC Player of the Year), and Pitt’s Marcus Minor (OG) were first-team all-conference players in addition to All-ACC Academic Team selections.
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. In addition, student-athletes must compete in at least 50 percent of their team’s contests.
