The Associated Press released its All-ACC football teams, and cornerback [autotag]Chandler Rivers[/autotag] and offensive tackle Brian Parker II both made the First Team.
Rivers, the only Duke football player on the All-ACC First Team named by the conference itself, ended the 2024 season with 52 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions, and nine other pass breakups. He returned one of those interceptions for a touchdown against the Florida State Seminoles in Week 8, his second straight season with a pick-six against FSU, and he nabbed passes from SMU’s Kevin Jennings and Miami quarterback Cam Ward.
Parker made the Pro Football Focus National Team of the Week for his Week 6 performance against Georgia Tech and the site’s ACC Team of the Week after the season finale against Wake Forest. According to PFF tracking, he only gave up eight pressures and no sacks in 467 pass-blocking snaps.
Offensive guard Caleb Krings, defensive tackle Kendy Charles, and safety Terry Moore all made the Second Team. Charles, a Liberty transfer, ended the season with 49 total tackles, 7.0 TFLs, and two sacks, and Moore tied Rivers with three interceptions.
