For those of us in the media who cover the ACC, we were asked to submit our preseason ballot for the Preseason All-ACC team, our predicted order of finish and who we think will be the ACC Player of the Year. Our deadline to turn in our ballots is this evening.
In all, I voted six Clemson players on my Preseason All-ACC Football Team. There is no real surprise who I picked. Five of the six players—quarterback Trevor Lawrence, running back Travis Etienne, left tackle Jackson Carman, defensive tackle Tyler Davis and cornerback Derion Kendrick—were selected at the end of last season as either first- or second-team All-ACC, while one—linebacker James Skalski—was an honorable mention All-ACC pick.
