Four Tigers make AP All-ACC first team |
Clemson has six selections for seven spots among the Associated Press' All-ACC teams this week.
That's led by first-team picks for Will Shipley as a running back and an all-purpose player. Shipley is a Hornung Award finalist who has rushed for 1,110 yards and 15 touchdowns, also tallying 34 catches for 221 yards and 261 kick return yards. Left tackle Jordan McFadden is also a first-teamer after 13 starts this season. He was honored with the Jacobs Blocking Trophy for the ACC's top blocker and a two-time offensive lineman of the week this year (Syracuse and Wake Forest). Clemson's D-line is also repped on the first team with Tyler Davis and KJ Henry. Myles Murphy and BT Potter were named to the second team.
