Presidents with Namesakes Currently Playing in ACC

We can’t endure a presidential electoral season without taking note of the many ACC players bearing the last names of former U.S. presidents. In fact, there are 11 players on nine teams who exactly echo the paternal labels of men who held the highest electoral office in American government.

It’s difficult to keep track of all the candidates, but apparently no Democrat or Republican seeking the office in the current electoral cycle mimics the name of a past president. Except, of course, Hillary Clinton, who was married to Bill Clinton (1993-2001). There’s no Clinton in the ACC this year.
