Chandler Rivers, Terry Moore land on preseason All-ACC team

Half of the secondary on the preseason All-ACC team comes from Duke.

 

Cornerback Chandler Rivers and safety Terry Moore were named to the league’s preseason team, the ACC announced Thursday afternoon.

 

The team was compiled with votes from more than 180 media members. Of the 27 players recognized, 11 are from Clemson — which was picked as the overwhelming favorite to win the league earlier this week. Tigers quarterback Cade Klubnik was picked as the preseason player of the year.

Rivers is entering his senior season having started Duke’s last 32 games. Last season, he was named to All-America teams by four publications (The Athletic, College Football Network, the Associated Press and Phil Steele). He had the second-highest defense grade on Pro Football Focus (90.7) for cornerbacks nationally last season.

Moore is a converted running back who has started 19 games. He has 116 tackles and four interceptions in his career. His status to start the season is in jeopardy because he’s coming off a torn ACL, which happened during Duke’s Gator Bowl loss to Mississippi.
