DURHAM, N.C. – Duke landed 31 selections on the 2025 All-ACC Academic Football Team, as announced by the ACC Friday.
With new criteria for this past football season, academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team included a 3.0-grade point average for the previous two semesters and a 3.0 cumulative average during one's academic career, while being enrolled at the institution for at least one year and being classified as an undergraduate student. In addition, student-athletes must have competed in at least 50 percent of their team's athletic contests.
Matt Craycraft and Todd Pelino each earned acknowledgment for the third time in their careers. David Anderson, Dawson Andrew, Travis Bates, Tony Boggs, Vance Bolyard, Que'Sean Brown, Kendall Johnson, Luke Mergott, Kevin O'Connor, Tyshon Reed, Kade Reynoldson, DaShawn Stone, Wesley Williams and George Wright all garnered recognition for a second season.
The Blue Devils had 15 student-athletes receive the honor for the first time in their careers. Duke's first-time picks were Gemyel Allen, Kyren Condoll, Bryce Davis, Caleb Dorris, Jeremiah Hasley, Ma'khi Jones, Moussa Kane, Darian Mensah, Jayden Moore, Cosme Salas, Nate Sheppard, Bradley Smith, Kobe Smith, Jake Taylor and Semaj Turner.
Combining success on the field and in the classroom, Hasley, Mensah, Sheppard and Williams earned All-ACC nods. In addition to their ACC academic honors, Craycraft, Hasley and Reynoldson were 2025 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District picks.
Duke led all member institutions with 31 All-ACC Academic selections, followed by Stanford (25), Florida State (22), Clemson (17), Virginia Tech (16), Louisville (15), Wake Forest (15), Miami (14), Virginia (14) Boston College (10), Pittsburgh (10), California (9), NC State (9), SMU (9), Syracuse (9), Georgia Tech (8) and North Carolina (6).
Over the last 14 seasons (2012-25), Duke has produced a conference-best 263 All-ACC Academic selections, nearly 100 more than any other league institution.
