Clemson was noticeably absent from ESPN’s college football midseason All-America team, which was released Wednesday morning.
Despite a hugely successful (and undefeated) season thus far for quarterback DJ Uiagalelei at the helm for the Tigers, Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker was listed as ESPN Senior Writer Chris Low’s midseason All-American quarterback.
Star running back Will Shipley, who earned his second ACC Running Back of the Week honors of the season this week following his performance at Florida State last weekend, was also not included.
The Tigers were the only team currently ranked within the top five to not have a player represented.
NC State’s kicker Christopher Dunn and Pittsburgh’s defensive tackle Calijah Kancey were the lone ACC pair included while the SEC and Big Ten both boasted eight players, the Big 12 had three, the Pac-12 had two and Notre Dame, Cincinnati and Louisiana each had one player listed.
Clemson will face another undefeated ACC team in Syracuse this weekend at Memorial Stadium for the Tiger’s annual Homecoming weekend. Kickoff is scheduled for noon on ABC.
