Hankerson Headlines Nine Hurricanes on All-ACC Football Team
Nov. 29, 2010
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Senior wide receiver Leonard Hankerson headlines nine University of Miami football student-athletes named to the 2010 All-Atlantic Coast Conference football team, as announced Monday by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association.
In balloting conducted by the ACSMA, Hankerson garnered the third-most votes in the conference, earning first team honors alongside offensive guard Brandon Washington and punter Matt Bosher. Second team honors went to offensive tackle Orlando Franklin, running back Damien Berry, defensive end Allen Bailey, linebacker Sean Spence, cornerback Brandon Harris and safety Ray-Ray Armstrong.
Miami’s nine selections were second to only Virginia Tech’s 11 on the first- and second-teams.
Linebacker Colin McCarthy was the 10th `Cane honored as he was recognized as an honorable mention performer.
Boston College running back Montel Harris earned a conference-high 122 points, while Clemson defensive end Da’Quan Bowers garnered 120 points followed by Hankerson’s 118.
Hankerson is coming off one of, if not the most productive season for a wide receiver in school history. His 12 touchdown catches this season is a Miami record, breaking Michael Irvin’s mark of 11 set in 1986. In the Hurricanes’ regular season finale, Hankerson became just the third player in program history to record a 1,000-yard receiving season and the first to have 2,000 yards for a career and 1,000 yards in a season.
Washington had a break-out year as Miami’s primary right guard, winning ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week twice this season while grading out above 90 percent in all but one of Miami’s games.
Bosher’s All-ACC honor as a punter was his second in as many years after earning second-team honors a season ago. This season, Bosher led the ACC in punting in conference games with an average of 44.7 yards per boot. On the year, he averaged 44.3 yards per punt, with 17 of 50 or more yards and 19 inside the 20-yard line.
Last season, six Hurricanes earned first- or second-team honors: Allen Bailey, Matt Bosher, Brandon Harris, Jason Fox, Colin McCarthy and Darryl Sharpton.
The 2010 All-Atlantic Coast Conference football team as voted on by 61 members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association. NOTE: A first-team vote was worth two points and second team vote one.
