George Bryan Makes Preseason All-ACC Team

Bryan is the only NC State player to make the preseason All-ACC team. Here is the offense:

Offense Pos. Name (Votes) Ht Wt Class 

WR Conner Vernon, Duke (20) 6-2 195 Junior
WR Dwight Jones, North Carolina (26) 6-4 225 Senior
TE George Bryan, NC State (40) 6-5 265 Senior
T Blake DeChristopher, Virginia Tech (30) 6-5 312 Senior
T Andrew Datko, Florida State (29) 6-6 321 Senior
G Brandon Washington, Miami (28) 6-4 320 Senior
G Omoregie Uzzi, Georgia Tech (21) 6-3 300 Junior
C Tyler Horn, Miami (18) 6-4 305 Senior
QB EJ Manuel, Florida State (23) 6-5 245 Junior
RB Montel Harris, Boston College (49) 5-10 200 Senior
RB Andre Ellington, Clemson (19) 5-10 190 Junior

Among the minor surprises: EJ Manuel edged out Danny O'Brien at quarterback even though he's never been a full-time starter. There were no unanimous selections, meaning that both Montel Harris and Luke Kuechly were left off a couple of ballots. Earl Wolff didn't get any respect despite a breakthrough 2010 season, but I think it's a good bet he's all-conference at the end of the year.
