2004 ALL-ACC FOOTBALL SELECTIONS

The ACC has named their ALL-ACC teams for the 2004 Football season - link here........ Here's the GT release.


Here are the Jackets that were recognized:


1st Team
WR....Calvin Johnson
DB....James Butler


2nd Team
DL....Eric Henderson
LB....Gerris Wilkinson
ST....Travis Bell


Honorable Mention:
LB....Chris Reis


This on Calvin Johnson:

Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson is the 11th true freshman in ACC annals named to the first-team; Johnson leads all ACC freshmen and is second nationally (among freshmen) in receiving yards per game (70.5).


In addition, there were only TWO freshman even recognized on the 1st / 2nd teams - and both came from GT!! And there were no "lack of depth" issues. Calvin would be starting on any squad and Bell has received national recognition for his kicking.


Congrats to these guys as well as all the others deserving recognition. There are certainly more than you will find on the list. GO JACKETS!!!!!
