Skalski not bothered by All-ACC snub

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney is very happy for his 16 players that were named to the 2019 All-ACC Football Teams, which were announced by the league Tuesday.

However, Swinney thinks redshirt junior linebacker James Skalski should have earned All-ACC recognition as well and made that clear during his press conference Tuesday.

“Not real sure how Skalski didn’t make it,” Swinney said. “He would have been one of my top votes for sure. I don’t even think he made honorable mention. But if I’m correct, I don’t think Isaiah Simmons made honorable mention last year … and he was pretty good last year, too, but didn’t make honorable mention in the league.
