Duke quarterback Daniel Jones was recently named the ACC Rookie of the Week for his excellent performance against the Fighting Irish over the weekend. Jones also earned several national quarterback awards, being named Davey O’Brien “Great 8” quarterback and Manning Award Star of the Week.
The Great 8 quarterback list is made up of three quarterbacks from the ACC and SEC and two from the Pac-12 who had the top QB performances in the nation. Jones joined Lamar Jackson (Louisville) and Mitch Trubisky (UNC) as the representatives from the Atlantic Coast Conference, as well as Joshua Dobbs (Tennessee), Chad Kelly (Ole Miss), Trevor Knight (Texas A&M), Steven Montez (Colorado), and Manny Wilkins (Arizona State).
