The Official 2023 All-ACC Teams were just released, and 4 NC State players earned All-ACC status.
1st Team
Senior Linebacker Payton Wilson – This marks the 2nd time in Wilsons career that he has earned 1st Team All-ACC honors, doing so in 2020 as well. Wilson’s 138 tackles led the ACC, and it wasn’t particularly close, with a 17 tackle gap between him and the next person. He also led the ACC in Tackles for Loss with 18, and ranked 10th in Sacks (6.0) and 6th in Interceptions (3). Wilson had the most First Team votes, which might be a sign that Wilson is likely to earn Defensive Player of the Year honors.
