CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – Four-time All-ACC Academic Football Team members Porter Wilson of Duke and Taylor Morin of Wake Forest headline the 2023 All-ACC Academic Team, announced Wednesday by the league office.
In addition to Wilson and Morin earning their fourth All-ACC Academic Team honor, three-time selections include Clemson’s Will Shipley (RB) and Will Putnam (OL), Duke’s Graham Barton (OL) and Charlie Ham (K), Florida State’s Ryan Fitzgerald (K), NC State’s Dylan McMahon (OL), and Wake Forest’s Justin Ellison (RB) and Michael Jurgens (OL). Duke redshirt senior defensive tackle DeWayne Carter was named the recipient of the 2023 Jim Tatum Award in November. The award is given annually in memory of the late Jim Tatum to the top senior student-athlete among the league's football players. All 14 ACC Football member institutions were represented on the team. Duke and Wake Forest led all schools with 29 selections, followed by Clemson (27) and Virginia (27). Florida State (26) and Louisville (23) had over 20 selections as well. The ACC has selected an All-ACC Academic Football Team every year since 1954. A total of 43 members of the All-ACC Academic Football Team also earned some form of all-conference recognition. Clemson’s Tyler Davis (DT), Duke’s Wilson (P), Florida State’s Keon Coleman (WR/SP), Louisville’s Bryan Hudson (C), Louisville’s Ashton Gillotte (DE), and Virginia’s Malik Washington (WR) were first-team all-conference players in addition to All-ACC Academic Team honorees. The 2023 ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year Rueben Bain, Jr. of Miami was also named to the academic team. Five All-ACC Academic Team selections were also recognized as 2023 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-Americans following the fall season in Shipley of Clemson (first team), Washington of Virginia (first team), Eric Miller of Louisville (first team), Gillotte of Louisville (first team), and Barton of Duke (second team). 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 have competed in at least 50 percent of their team’s contests during the season. 2023 All-ACC Academic Football Team ** - two-time honoree *** - three-time honoree **** - four-time honoree Alex Broome, Boston College, RB, Engineering Sam Candotti **, Boston College, SP, Management Liam Connor **, Boston College, SP, Management Loren Diloreto, Boston College, SP, Certificate of Leadership Donovan Ezeiruaku **, Boston College, DE, Management Jack Funke, Boston College, OL, Management Kyle Hergel, Boston College, OL, M.S. in Sport Administration Drew Kendall **, Boston College, OL, Management Jirhe Love, Boston College, DB, M.S. in Sport Administration Joe Marinaro **, Boston College, LB, MBA Jackson Ness **, Boston College, OL, MBA John Pupel, Boston College, DB, M.S. in Leadership and Administration Shitta Sillah, Boston College, DE, M.S. in Leadership and Administration Dino Tomlin**, Boston College, WR, Management Ozzy Trapilo**, Boston College, OL, Management Michael Wright, Boston College, SP, Certificate of Leadership Jamal Anderson, Clemson, LB, Pre-Business Jake Briningstool**, Clemson, TE, Sociology Tyler Brown, Clemson, WR, Communication DeMonte Capehart**, Clemson, DT, Sports Communication Barrett Carter**, Clemson, LB, Sports Communication Holden Caspersen**, Clemson, SP, Financial Management Beaux Collins**, Clemson, WR, Management Tyler Davis, Clemson, DT, Athletic Leadership (Masters), B.S.
