CHESTNUT HILL, Mass.— Boston College had four senior standouts named to the 70-member 2018 All-ACC Academic Football Team, announced Wednesday by the league office.

Defensive end Zach Allen, center Jon Baker, defensive tackle Ray Smith and tight end Tommy Sweeney were named to the All-ACC Academic Football Team. All four players also earned All-ACC honors on the field following the 2018 season as well.

Minimum academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team are a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one's academic career. Athletic achievements during the most recent season are also considered in selecting the All-ACC Academic Team.

All 14 ACC Football member institutions were represented on the team. Duke led all schools with 12 selections, followed by Georgia Tech (8), Clemson (7), Pitt (6), Syracuse (6), Virginia (6), NC State (5), Boston College (4), Louisville (4), Wake Forest (4), Miami (3), Virginia Tech (2), Florida State (2), and North Carolina (1).

The ACC has selected an All-ACC Academic Football Team every year since 1954. The team was chosen from a pool of ACC football student-athletes who were nominated by their schools.

The ACC Honor Roll, which recognizes all conference student-athletes with a grade point average of 3.0 for the current academic year, will be released in July.
