U of L's Parker makes preseason All-ACC team

DeVante Parker made the preseason All-Atlantic Coast Conference team, which was voted on by members of the media at the ACC Football Kickoff this weekend and was revealed Wednesday.

Parker, the star University of Louisville receiver, was the only Cardinals player to make the all-conference team. He received 32 votes, trailing Duke's Jamison Crowder and Florida State's Rashad Greene.

The senior Parker collected 55 catches for 885 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. He's 80 yards away from becoming the 10th Louisville receiver to compile 2,000 career receiving yards and six touchdown grabs away from owning the school's career TD receptions record.

FSU quarterback Jameis Winston received 97 votes for the team, the most of any player in the conference. Clemson defensive end Vic Beasley (96) and Miami running back Duke Johnson (95) were the next-highest vote getters.

FSU led all teams with six players on the All-ACC offense and two on defense. Kicker Roberto Aguayo was picked as the preseason's top place-kicker.

Duke had four players on the team, while Clemson and Virginia Tech each had three.
