Four Tigers land First-Team All-ACC, three on Third Team All-ACC

Despite a tough 2025 season, which saw the team go 7-5 and miss out on an ACC Championship Game appearance, Clemson features seven total players on the first and third All-ACC team lists.

Included on the First Team All-ACC offensive tackle Blake Miller, defensive tackle Peter Woods, linebacker Sammy Brown, and cornerback Avieon Terrell. Making the Third Team All-ACC were wide receiver Antonio Williams, defensive lineman Will Heldt, and safety Ricardo Jones.

Wrapping up a 7-5 season with a win in the Palmetto Bowl against in-state rival South Carolina, Clemson may not have had the season that they wanted or expected, but that did not stop seven Tigers from making All-ACC teams after their 2025 season performances.

Starting with offensive tackle Miller, who has started every game since arriving before the 2022 season, the 6’6” offensive tackle has been a mainstay up front for the Tigers since joining Clemson.

Defensive tackle Woods is projected to be a first or second-round draft pick in the 2026 NFL Draft after three good seasons at Clemson. During his likely final season playing for Clemson, Woods has racked up 30 tackles (10 solo tackles), 3.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, and one pass breakup over the 12-game regular season.

Sophomore linebacker Brown finished his second season with 91 tackles (48 solo tackles), 12.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, five pass breakups, one forced fumble, and one interception. Brown had many breakout games, like his game against Boston College, that catapulted Brown to a First Team All-ACC selection.

Brother of Atlanta Falcon AJ Terrell, a First Team All-Pro, (Avieon) Terrell will be more than likely joining his brother in the NFL next season. The Atlanta, Georgia, native posted 48 tackles (30 solo tackles), 4.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, five forced fumbles, and nine passes defensed.

Williams hauled in 55 catches for 605 receiving yards and four touchdowns in the 2025 season. Defenders Heldt (38 tackles, 20 solo tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, two passes defensed, and one forced fumble) and Jones (35 tackles, 23 solo tackles, six interceptions, three pass breakups, one tackle for loss, and one fumble recovery) also had good seasons, earning themselves Third Team All-ACC honors.

Regardless of the rough 2025 season as a team, the seven Tigers receiving All-ACC honors is a nice way of recognizing the great play on the field for the seven Tigers.
