Five Miami football players were named first-team preseason All-ACC by Athlon Sports. Four came from the Hurricanes defense and tight end Brevin Jordan was also named preseason all-ACC by the iconic annual.
Defensive end Jonathan Garvin, linebackers Shaq Quarterman and Michael Pinckney and cornerback Trajan Bandy were named first-team preseason all-ACC defense by Athlon. Quarterman was named first-team All-ACC in 2018, Bandy third-team and Pinckney honorable mention.
Garvin was inexplicably snubbed from the All-Conference teams in the ACC in 2018. He is the most productive player returning on the Miami football team in 2019.
