North Carolina wing Justin Jackson was named the 2017 ACC Player of the Year on Sunday.
Jackson is the 14th Tar Heel to win the ACC Player of the Year honor and the first since 2012.
He joins a short list of North Carolina players to win the award under Roy Williams. In 2008, forward Tyler Hansbrough earned ACC Player of the Year honors. A year later, guard Ty Lawson took home the award. Finally, Tyler Zeller won in 2012.
“It’s an honor and a blessing by my God,” Jackson said in a press release. “My teammates are a huge part of this award, and I can’t thank my coaches and them enough.
