| - Tuesday, December 6, 2022, 5:20 PM |
Clemson has six selections for seven spots among the Associated Press' All-ACC teams this week.
That's led by first-team picks for Will Shipley as a running back and an all-purpose player.
Shipley is a Hornung Award finalist who has rushed for 1,110 yards and 15 touchdowns, also tallying 34 catches for 221 yards and 261 kick return yards.
Left tackle Jordan McFadden is also a first-teamer after 13 starts this season. He was honored with the Jacobs Blocking Trophy for the ACC's top blocker and a two-time offensive lineman of the week this year (Syracuse and Wake Forest).
Clemson's D-line is also repped on the first team with Tyler Davis and KJ Henry.
Myles Murphy and BT Potter were named to the second team.
