OFFENSIVE BACK - Elijah Hood, North Carolina, So., RB, 6-0, 220, Charlotte, N.C.
Hood recorded his first career 200-yard rushing yard game and his seventh 100-yard game of the season in North Carolina's 45-34 win at NC State. Hood rushed for 220 yards on 21 carries and scored two touchdowns.  The 220 yards are the most ever by a Tar Heel versus NC State and ranks as the 14^th highest single-game total in school history. He became the first Tar Heel to rush for 200 yards since Giovani Bernard had 262 vs. Virginia Tech in 2012.

OFFENSIVE LINEMAN - Jay Guillermo, Clemson, Jr.-r, C, 6-3, 310, Maryville, Tenn.
Guillermo played 70 of Clemson's 74 plays and graded 93 percent in the Tigers' 37-32 win at rival South Carolina.  He added three knockdown blocks and did not allow a sack.  Guillermo had key blocks on three of Clemson's four rushing touchdowns, including a drive up the middle by running back C.J. Fuller.  Clemson gained 515 yards of total offense, including 236 on the ground.

RECEIVER - Isaiah Ford, Virginia Tech, So., WR, 6-2, 180, Jacksonville, Fla.
Ford hauled in six passes for 121 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown reception, as the Hokies posted a 23-20 win over Virginia in Charlottesville to secure bowl eligibility for the 23^rd consecutive year. Ford's 10 touchdown catches this fall are a Virginia Tech single-season record and ranks first among all ACC receivers.

DEFENSIVE LINEMAN - DeMarcus Walker, Florida State, Jr., DE, 6-3, 281, Jacksonville, Fla.
Walker keyed a dominating defensive performance in the Seminoles 27-2 road win at 10^th-ranked Florida. Walker had game highs in sacks (1.5) and tackles for loss (2.5) and had a crucial third-quarter block of a field goal attempt - FSU's first since 2010. Walker's effort played a huge role in limiting Florida to its lowest point total since 1988 and secured the lowest output by a Top 10 opponent on the road in ACC history.

​LINEBACKER - B.J. Goodson, Clemson, Sr.-r, 6-0, 240, Lamar, S.C.
Goodson was Clemson's top tackler with 12 in the victory over South Carolina. The senior also had 1.5 sacks for 18 negative yards and had three tackles for loss for 22 yards as Clemson held off the Gamecocks' rally to win 37-32.  Goodson had two of his tackles for loss in the first half, when Clemson held South Carolina to just three points and 150 yards.

DEFENSIVE BACK - Chuck Clark, Virginia Tech, Jr., CB, 6-0, 206, Suffolk, Va.
Clark led all tacklers with 12 in Virginia Tech's win at Virginia and came up with a game-clinching interception on the Cavaliers' final possession of the game.  Clark's interception was his first of the season and secured the Hokies' three-point victory.

SPECIALIST - Michael Badgley, Miami, So., PK, 5-11, 180, Summit, N.J.
Badgley scored 17 points Friday in Miami's 29-24 win over Pittsburgh. Badgley tied a school record with five field goals, connecting from 33, 48, 23, 45 and 29 yards. Badgley made his sixth and seventh field goals  from between 40-49 yards this season. He also connected on two extra points and moved to a perfect 38-of-38 in extra points this season. Badgley has successfully converted a school-record 25 field goals this season.

ROOKIE - Lamar Jackson, Louisville, Fr., QB, 6-3, 196, Boynton Beach, Fla.
Jackson accounted for 316 total yards versus Kentucky to set the school's freshman record for total offense in a season. He rushed for a career-high 186 yards and two touchdowns, while throwing for 130 yards and another TD in Louisville's 38-24 win. Jackson has nine rushing touchdowns this season, setting another single-season school record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback.
