The ACC released its 2013 All-Atlantic Coast Conference Football Team on Monday, with two Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets making the cut for the honor.
Georgia Tech had one player name first team honors, junior offensive guard Shaq Mason, and one player named to the second team, senior defensive end Jeremiah Attaochu.
The Yellow Jackets also had three honorable mentions; RB Robert Godhigh, RB David Sims, and OG Will Jackson.
The Coastal and Atlantic division champions Duke and Florida State led all teams, with the Seminoles placing 17 members on the team, including seven first-team selections, and the Blue Devils landing 11 players, including four on the first team. This marks the first year in which a first, second, and third-team were chosen by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (ACSMA).
Boston College senior running back Andre Williams, who leads the nation and set an ACC single-season record with 2,102 rushing yards, was the only unanimous selection to the team, being named first team on all 65 ballots.
