Offensive lineman Dillan Gibbons, defensive end Jared Verse and safety Jammie Robinson were named first-team All-ACC as the league's postseason honors were released on Tuesday afternoon.

Quarterback Jordan Travis, running back Trey Benson, offensive lineman Robert Scott and wide receiver Johnny Wilson were named to the second team. Offensive lineman D'Mitri Emmanuel was named to the third team.

Six of the eight players on the first, second or third teams are those that coach Mike Norvell and the staff identified in the transfer portal and have developed into the ACC's best players. The two exceptions are Scott, who was part of Norvell's first class in 2020, and Travis, a Louisville transfer who arrived in 2019.

Center Maurice Smith and running back Treshaun Ward were named honorable mention, joining defensive tackles Fabien Lovett and Robert Cooper, linebacker Tatum Bethune and cornerback Renardo Green. Punt returner Mycah Pittman is an honorable mention as a specialist.

Florida State’s 15 total selections are the second-most in the conference this year and the most for FSU since 2015, when the Noles had 17 players represented.

On Monday, Gibbons earned the Jim Tatum Award as the ACC’s top senior student-athlete. On Wednesday, the ACC will announce Players of the Year and Rookies of the Year, and Coach of the Year will be presented Thursday.
