DURHAM, N.C. – Duke freshman forward Zion Williamson has been named both the 2019 ACC Player of the Year and Rookie of Year, leading four Blue Devils to earn All-ACC mention and becoming just the third player in ACC history to sweep the league’s Player and Rookie of the Year honors.
Williamson joins former Duke standouts Marvin Bagley III (2018) and Jahlil Okafor (2015) as the only players in the ACC’s 66-year history to sweep the conference's top individual awards in the same season. Williamson was also the only unanimous selection for both first-team All-ACC and All-Freshman honors this season.
