On Tuesday, the Atlantic Coastal Conference announced its all-conference team. Former Calhoun offensive lineman Jack DeFoor was selected as an All ACC Team Honorable Mention. The redshirt junior suited up for Georgia Tech this past season, as the Yellow Jackets begin to transition from a triple-option attack to a more NFL-style offense under head coach Geoff Collins.
Despite the Jackets going 3-9 this past season, DeFoor and his fellow trenchmen allowed just one sack during the squad’s final three games of 2019. Both Virginia-based ACC schools (Virginia and Virginia Tech) could not bring down GT quarterbacks, and No. 4 Georgia managed just one sack on James Graham.
Tech sophomore running back Jordan Mason had three 100-plus yard rushing games in 2019 while quarterback James Graham had one.
Former Calhoun linebacker Jireh Wilson earned All Southern Conference (SoCon) First-Team Defensive Honors during his senior season at Wofford College in South Carolina. In 2019, Wilson record 56 tackles, seven tackles for a loss and one interception.
