NC State, not Clemson, garners most First Team All-ACC selections

The 2018 All-ACC team is out and you’re not going to be believe this, but Clemson did not have the most First team honorees in the conference. That distinction belongs to NC State, who placed six, including quarterback Ryan Finley

Clemson placed five players on the first team -- running back Travis Etienne (a Doak Walker Award finalist), offensive tackle Mitch Hyatt (the back-to-back winner of the ACC’s Jacobs Blocking Trophy) and defensive linemen Clelin Ferrell, Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence. The 12-0 Tigers, who again went 8-0 through the ACC regular season en route to their fourth straight Atlantic Division championship, will have Pitt for the ACC championship on Saturday (8 p.m. ET, ABC).

Boston College posted four First Team selections. Despite leading the nation in passing defense, Miami did not place a defensive back on the First Team.
