Four Hokies Named to ACC All Academic Football Team

Often times, the academic accomplishments of college football players is overlooked by the on-field accolades such as conference player of the year, rookie of the year, etc. So, it’s no surprise that nearly a month ago, four Virginia Tech Hokies were named to the ACC’s All Academic football team, but the news got very little press. The following Hokies were named to the team: Brent Bowden, Punter Jarrett Boykin, Wide Receiver Chris Drager, Defensive End John Graves, Defensive Tackle To be eligible for consideration, a player must have earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during his academic career. All 12 ACC schools were represented by at least one selection on the team. The ACC has selected an ACC All-Academic Football team every year since 1954.
