Georgia Tech matched a team record by placing eight team members on the All-ACC academic team – seniors Jalen Johnson, Andrew Marshall, Brant Mitchell, Malik Rivera and Brad Stewart, junior Parker Braun, redshirt freshman Tre Swilling and freshman Wesley Wells.
To be named to the team, athletes must have a 3.0 GPA for the previous semester and also a cumulative 3.0 GPA. Athletic performance is also taken into account.
The eight honorees ties for the most in Tech’s 39 seasons in the ACC, which was first accomplished in 2003. It was also the second most in the ACC, behind Duke with 12.
Marshall, Stewart and Rivera also earned first-team academic all-district honors. Stewart and Braun were named to the ACC academic team for the third time each, the first Tech players to accomplish that feat since Will Jackson (2010-12). It was Marshall’s second recognition. Swilling was one of five redshirt freshmen among the 70 honorees leaguewide. Wells was one of four first-year freshmen.
