Seven Pitt players, including Offensive Player of the Year Kenny Pickett, were named Monday to The Associated Press’ 2021 All-ACC teams.
The teams were chosen by a panel of 14 journalists — one from each conference city — who regularly cover the ACC.
Pickett and Jordan Addison were unanimous selections to the All-ACC first team at quarterback and wide receiver, respectively. Defensive tackle Calijah Kancey also was named to the first team.
Offensive left tackle Carter Warren, defensive end Habakkuk Baldonado, linebacker SirVocea Dennis and strong safety Brandon Hill were picked for the second teams.
Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson was named Coach of the Year, and Florida State defensive end Jermaine Johnson II was selected as the Defensive Player of the Year. The Newcomer of the Year went to Miami quarterback Tyler Van Dyke.
Pitt, the ACC champion, and Clemson led all conference schools with a total of seven selections each.
