The 2023 regular season didn’t end how the North Carolina Tar Heels had hoped for, going 8-4 and losing to both Clemson and NC State on the road to end the campaign.
But there were some players on the team that stood out and played at an All-Conference level.
On Tuesday, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced their All-Conference teams with the season complete and three Tar Heels earned First Team Honors.
Running back Omarion Hampton, tight end Bryson Nesbit, and linebacker Cedric Gray earned First Team All-ACC honors, being among the best in the conference. They were joined by Drake Maye (Second Team), Kaimon Rucker (Second Team), Noah Burnette (Second Team), Tez Walker (Third Team), Willie Lampkin (Third Team), and Power Echols (Third Team).
Alijah Huzzie, Spencer Rolland, Corey Gaynor and Myles Murphy were all named honorable mentions.
Hampton rushed for 1,442 yards which was best in the ACC and fourth in the country. He also had 16 total touchdowns on the year. Nesbit had 41 catches for 585 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Defensively, Gray had 121 total tackles, which was second in the ACC.
