ACC 2023 LB Preview

Today’s ACC position preview: Linebackers

It’s a tough group to do. 1) Several teams have almost total makeovers. 2) How do you judge a base 3-4 LB group vs, say, a 4-2-5?

So, rankings are prob not worth much, but some interesting stats to come…

Among the nine linebackers named first, second or third-team All-ACC last season, only UNC's Cedric Gray returns for 2023.

(But 7 guys who were honorable mention are back and how Trotter & Carter weren't better than honorable mention is 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️)
