The ACC unveiled its 2024 all-conference honorees for the 2024 college football season on Tuesday, and star Blue Devils cornerback [autotag]Chandler Rivers[/autotag] earned one of two First-Team spots at his position.
Rivers, in his third season with the program, intercepted a career-high three passes over the regular season. He returned the first for a touchdown against the Florida State Seminoles in Week 8, his second straight game with a pick-six against FSU, en route to ACC Defensive Back of the Week honors. He picked off a pass in each of the next two games against SMU and Miami as well.
Rivers also broke up nine other throws, and his 12 total passes defended put him in a tie for 20th among all FBS defensive backs.
Pro Football Focus graded Rivers as the best FBS cornerback through Week 13, and he finished the season with 52 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, and a sack on top of his pass protection.
Seven other Blue Devils made the Second-Team or Third-Team squads, including fellow defensive back Terry Moore (Second-Team) and defensive tackle Kendy Charles (Second-Team).
