Florida State football placed a school-record 26 student-athletes on the All-ACC Academic Football Team, announced Wednesday by the league office.

Led by three-time honoree Ryan Fitzgerald, FSU was one of five schools in the conference with at least 25 selections. Academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team are a 3.0-grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one’s academic career. In addition, student-athletes must have competed in at least 50 percent of their team’s contests for the season.

Fitzgerald, a junior working toward his Master’s in accounting, is the ninth Seminole to earn at least three All-ACC Academic honors. Brian Courtney, Preston Daniel, Ja’Khi Douglas, Joshua Farmer, Kevin Knowles II and James Rosenberry Jr. were all honored for the second time in their careers.

In 2023, the Seminoles produced the third 13-win season in program history as they joined the 2013 national championship team and 2014 CFP semifinalist. FSU also placed a program-record 25 selections on the All-ACC teams.

Behind ACC Player of the Year quarterback Jordan Travis, FSU’s eight first-team selections were the most in the conference, and Florida State also topped the ACC in second-team and third-team honorees.
