Congrats 23. Considering this and the 4 previous ones its going to be some real BS if he doesn't make 1st team all ACC.
Number 23 did you say? Just like our ranking :)
So you're saying he's pretty much guaranteed to be 3rd team All-ACC behind somebody from Clemson and someone from one of the Carolina schools?
Well done Rayshard.
So much rage at the accuracy of this!!!
Congrats, Ashby!
It's like you can predict the future man!
I mean, there are 3 LBs on each all-ACC team, so he'll be behind 2 Clemson LBs, one from each of Duke, UNC, and Wake, and one from either Miami or FSU.
damned straight I'm using this again:
I think he deserves one of the three 1st team LB slots, but I haven't looked much into his competition. A cursory check of ACC stats leads me to speculate Quarterman (Miami), Simmons (Clemson), and Ashby could be the guys.
Who else on the defense has a shot at post-season honors? Farley? He's leading the ACC in passes defended and interceptions.
Ashby SHOULD be 1st team, so should Farley. He leads the ACC in all the deeper stats as well as those you mentioned. We will see how it plays out.
He should be defensive POY. Seriously, no one is even close to 5(!) POW honors for their position.
My guess is Isaiah Simmons will run away with that. He is the most important player on Clemson's defense, which is definitely the best unit in the ACC. However, we have certainly been giving them a run for their money the last few weeks.
Perhaps a move to TE would better suit his skill set!!
Natural progression is he becomes a QB after that.
back up QB...
No doubt.
Gonna be near impossible to beat out Burmeister next year........
