Shutout: No ‘Hoos, Hokies on preseason 2025 All-ACC Football Team

Eleven of the 27 guys named to the preseason 2025 All-ACC Football Team are from Clemson, with zero each from both Virginia and Virginia Tech.

One Tech kid, Kyron Drones, the Hokies starting QB, got four votes – from the 183 cast – for preseason player of the year.

Virginia’s starting QB, Chandler Morris, who, like Drones, was named to the 80-player Maxwell Award Watch List, got no love there, or anywhere, in terms of the ACC voting.

Clemson QB Cade Klubnik was the QB on the All-ACC team, and was voted preseason player of the year, with 146 votes.

In case you’re wondering why I’m not bothering to travel to Charlotte for ACC media things anymore, there you go.
