Wake Forest had three players earn four All-ACC selections — more on how that happened below — in voting conducted by the league’s media members and head coaches.
Linebacker Branson Combs, who transferred to Wake Forest from Southern Illinois, earned a second-team spot. He had 94 tackles, six TFLs, two sacks, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery this season.
Running back Demond Claiborne landed on the third-team twice, as both a running back and all-purpose back. He ran for 1,049 yards — the second Deacon to eclipse 1,000 yards in the last 19 seasons — and had 11 touchdowns, while also pulling in 23 catches for 254 yards and two more scores, and returning 11 kickoffs for 277 yards, including a touchdown at Miami.
Safety Nick Andersen led the ACC in tackles with 122 and was a third-team selection. He also had two interceptions this season.
Wake Forest had four players garner honorable mention All-ACC status. They are: wide receiver Taylor Morin, offensive guard Matt Gulbin, center Luke Petitbon and defensive tackle Kevin Pointer.
Clemson had the most All-ACC picks (not counting honorable mention) with 10; second-place was a three-way tie between SMU, Miami and Duke. There were 54 media voters and 17 head coaches, and coaches could not vote for their own players.
