Payton Wilson named first-team All-ACC; three other NC State players earn honors

The ACC released its all-conference teams on Tuesday, and to the surprise of nobody, Payton Wilson made the first team—he also received more votes than any other player, which suggests that he’s the league’s Defensive Player of the Year, at minimum. Maybe the overall Player of the Year?

Kevin Concepcion earned second-team honors, while Aydan White and Anthony Belton made the third team. Aydan White was playing a whole lot better than a third-team corner down the stretch of this season—once he got healthy, basically—but I guess not having a gaudy INT total hurts with your more casual ACC media voter.
