The 2026 All-ACC Team has been unveiled, projecting the conference’s most promising talent for the coming season.
Miami leads the selections with 17 players, underscoring the program’s depth and recent recruiting momentum.
The roster was compiled based on anticipated performance rather than past team achievements, with career statistics and award history factored into the evaluation.
At quarterback, Darian Mensah from Miami earned the nod, while Louisville’s Isaac Brown and Mark Fletcher Jr. were recognized as top running backs.
Additional backfield threats include Justice Haynes of Georgia Tech and Duce Robinson from Florida State, both slated to contribute in multiple roles.
Wide receiver corps feature Malachi Toney of Miami, who also appears as an all‑purpose player, alongside Duce Robinson’s teammate Cooper Barkate and Clemson’s Bryant Wesco Jr.
The tight end slot is occupied by Luke Reynolds of Virginia Tech, while the offensive line includes Joshua Bates of SMU and several other standout linemen from across the league.
Defensively, Miami again shows strength with multiple selections, including defensive linemen Damon Wilson II and Ahmad Moten, linebackers such as Sammy Brown from Clemson and Kam Robinson from Virginia, and defensive backs like Bryce Fitzgerald and Chris Peal.
Special teams highlight kicker Aidan Birr from Georgia Tech and punter Dylan Joyce from Miami, while return specialists Tre Richardson of Louisville and Malachi Toney also receive recognition.
