After leading North Carolina to its second consecutive ACC regular-season championship, one the Tar Heels won by two games, junior forward Justin Jackson on Sunday was named the ACC Player of the Year.
Jackson earned the honor, decided upon by the ACC's 15 coaches and by media members covering the league, after receiving 24 of a possible 53 votes for the award. Wake Forest forward John Collins (15 votes) and Notre Dame forward Bonzie Colson (8) finished second and third in the voting.
Duke sophomore forward Luke Kennard, who received five player of the year votes, finished fourth in the ACC Player of the Year voting.
