GREENSBORO, NC – Ray Beno and Will Jackson, a pair of Georgia Tech rising senior offensive linemen, were named to the 2012 Atlantic Coast Conference All-Academic Football Team, announced Wednesday by league commissioner John Swofford.
Jackson (Knoxville, Tenn.) is a three-time ACC All-Academic Team selection, while Beno (Newnan, Ga.) made the squad for the first time. Both players are business administration majors.
The team was chosen from a pool of 105 ACC football student-athletes who were nominated by their schools.
