There are so many awards, it's difficult to keep track of them all, so I figured since several have been released, it would be a good time to compile a current list of ACC players who have made the semifinalist lists. There are still a good number of semifinalist lists that will be released later this month, and I'll do an updated post then, but for now, here are your conference representatives for the major national awards:
JIM THORPE AWARD
Presented to the nation's most outstanding defensive back by the Jim Thorpe Association
Presented to the nation's best quarterback by the Davey O'Brien Foundation
Presented to the nation's most outstanding coach by the Maxwell Football Club
Presented to the nation's most outstanding player by the Maxwell Football Club
Presented to the nation's most outstanding linebacker by the Butkus Foundation
Presented to the nation's most outstanding wide receiver by the Tallahassee QB Club Foundation
