“2011 All-ACC Academic Football Team Announced”
The winner of the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Jim Tatum Scholar-Athlete award, two of the ACC’s career-leading receivers, three of its starting quarterbacks, its top two leading scorers and seven student-athletes who earned first-team, second-team or honorable mention All-Conference honors this past season secured spots on the 52-member 2011 All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Football Team, announced Wednesday by Commissioner John Swofford.
To be eligible for consideration, a student-athlete must have earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during his academic career. All 12 ACC schools were represented by at least one selection on the team. The ACC has selected an All-ACC Academic Football team every year since 1954.
Leading the team is Virginia Tech senior wide receiver Danny Coale (Lexington, Va.), who in December was named the winner of the Jim Tatum Award, which is presented annually to the ACC’s top football scholar-athlete.
Congratulations to Danny “You totally caught that ball!” Coale!
DANNY COALE IS STILL OPEN
