There is tough competition at wide receiver and cornerback, where Jamison Crowder and Ross Cockrell deserve first team honors.
Duke nominated Perry Simmons and Laken Tomlinson on the offensive line and Kenny Anunike on the defensive line. Also Kelby would be a strong first-team candidate. Jeremy Cash has more tackles than any other safety in the ACC.
Both kickers were nominated, although that's also going to be tough. Devonte and Jamison are both on the ballot as return specialists.
Edwards is also a strong candidate as defensive rookie of the year.
And, of course, if Cut is not Coach of the Year, there should be an investigation.
You're overoptimistic.
Crowder will get second team - there are a TON of great WRs, even if he has big #s. Vernon got 2nd team last year. By contrast, Cockrell got first team last year and will repeat. I'm not sure anyone else will get anything.
Consider the comparison: In 2006, Wake WON the acc and stormed out of nowhere. They had TWO first team all acc players - both O Linemen. The great season =//= individual awards.
