The 2025 preseason All-ACC football team was released Thursday and Clemson dominated the list once again. The reigning conference champions landed a league-best 11 selections -- a reflection of their status as clear favorites in this year's ACC media poll released Wednesday.

Also, no Cal players was among the 13 players who received votes for preseason ACC player of the year. Last year, one Cal player, running back Jaydn Ott, was named to the preseason all-conference squad, and he was sixth in the preseason voting for ACC player of the year.

Clemson, the reigning ACC champion, received 167 of a possible 183 first-place votes (91%). Miami (seven first-place votes) was picked to finish second in the ACC, and SMU (two first-place votes) was picked to finish third.
