It’s  time to release our SIS All-Conference teams. We used our all-encompassing player value stat, Total Points, along with other metrics and our scouting work as leading references in putting together our team of selections for 2025, plus some honorable mentions.

You can learn more about Total Points and the statistics referenced here.

These picks are meant to honor this season’s best-of-the-best in the ACC.

1st Team Offense

The ACC was led by Haynes King, who led all players in the conference with 112 Total Points. His teammate, Keyland Rutledge, accumulated 34 Total Points (2nd-best among all ACC offensive linemen) and tied for the 2nd-fewest blown blocks (6) among all ACC OL who played at least 500 snaps.

Miami was well represented on our All-Conference Team, especially the 1st Team Offense. True freshman Malachi Toney’s 45 Total Points led all ACC WRs. Additionally, his 31 broken/missed tackles were by far the most among ACC WRs and his 7 receiving touchdowns tied for most. He also had no drops. Francis Mauigoa and Anez Cooper both made the team from the Hurricanes’ offensive line. Mauigoa’s 37 Total Points were leaders among the conference’s offensive linemen. Both had a miniscule 0.9% blown block rate, and Cooper’s 0.3% blown block rate in pass pro was 2nd-best among ACC OL (minimum 500 snaps).

1st Team Defense

Miami also saw three players find their way onto the 1st Team Defense. Rueben Bain Jr. and Akheem Mesidor were one of the top edge duos in the country. Not only were they 1-2 in the conference in Total Points for all defensive linemen, but Bain’s 51 pressures led the conference and Mesidor’s 45 were 3rd.

Similar can be said about Pitt’s linebacker duo of Rasheem Biles and Kyle Louis. Biles’ 62 Total Points led all ACC defensive players and was 2nd in the country among LBs. That resulted in a spot as a 1st Team All-American. While he couldn’t match his incredible numbers from 2024, Louis still put together another great season in 2025, with 85 tackles, 3 sacks, and 2 interceptions.

1st Team Specialists

Aidan Birr’s 25 made field goals (on 28 attempts) for the Yellow Jackets were five more than anyone else in the conference.

Granted Syracuse’s Jack Stonehouse punted more than anyone in the conference, he led the ACC in net average (43.9), was 3rd in gross punt average (46.5), and added 14 punts inside the 20 with 25 forced fair catches.

The only player in the conference with multiple return touchdowns was Louisville’s Caullin Lacy, who had two punt return touchdowns on the season. His 461 punt return yards were nearly 200 more than 2nd in the conference, and he also added 234 yards on kick returns.

2nd Team Offense

Duke’s Darian Mensah highlights the 2nd Team by garnering 107 Total Points in 2025, 2nd-most in the conference. However, his 110 Passing Total Points ranked 1st.

Justin Joly tied the conference-lead with 7 receiving touchdowns and 0 drops on 67 targets.

2nd Team Defense

Clev Lubin’s 6.5 sacks were 5th-best in the conference, while his 42 pressures were 7th.

Brent Austin didn’t record any interceptions for Cal in 2025, but his 13 passes defensed were 2nd-most in the ACC.

2nd Team Specialists

Luca Lombardo went 16-for-17 on field goal attempts and hit all 35 of his extra points for Boston College.

Wake Forest’s Carlos Hernandez had a punt return touchdown to go along with 279 punt return yards, 2nd-most in the ACC.

Honorable Mentions

Among the Honorable Mentions, those deserving of an extra shoutout are Stanford’s Sam Roush and Clemson’s Ricardo Jones. Roush’s 545 receiving yards were tops among ACC TEs and his 163 yards after contact were 5th-most among anyone in the conference. While Jones gave up a couple touchdowns, his 6 interceptions led the conference even though he was targeted only 21 times all season.
