We take a look at the eleven Louisville football players who were picked to one of the ACC conference’s All-Conference teams on Thursday.

The Louisville football team was honored to have eleven players make an All-ACC team this year. There were many deserving players, but only 11 of them were lucky enough to be chosen. With only a few weeks left until the bowl game, let’s hope this notoriety will help boost their confidence after a rough ending to the regular season.

With that being said, let’s take a look at the eleven players:

1st Team Offense: QB, Lamar Jackson

There shouldn’t be any surprise after Jackson was already named the player of the year by the ACC coaches. Sorry Dabo Swinney, it looks like your boy isn’t the best player in the country after all. It turns out that Lamar Jackson is the ACC’s first team quarterback after this season.

It was clear from the start that Jackson was going to be a first team player, hands down.

Here was the rest of the 1st team:

  • WR   Mike Williams, Jr.-R, Clemson (38)
  • WR   Amba Etta-Tawo, Sr.-R, Syracuse (33) 
  • WR   Ryan Switzer, Sr., North Carolina (32)
  • TE    Jordan Leggett, Sr., Clemson (29)
  • T       Roderick Johnson, Jr., Florida State (34) 
  • T       Adam Bisnowaty, Sr.-R, Pitt (28) 
  • G      Dorian Johnson, Sr., Pitt (32)
  • G      Tyrone Crowder, Jr.-R, Clemson (27)
