GREENSBORO, N.C. – A total of 12 Virginia Tech football players have been identified by the conference with nine Hokies garnering spots on the 2016 All-ACC Football Team, as selected by the league’s 14 head coaches and announced today. The nine Hokies ties for the third-most among member schools, while Tech head coach Justin Fuente becomes the consensus ACC Coach of the Year with this selection by his peers.
It’s the third ACC Coach of the Year honor picked up by Tech’s first-year head coach, as he was tabbed the Atlantic Coast Conference Sports Media Association (ACSMA) Coach of the Year last week and The Associated Press ACC Coach of the Year on Wednesday.
