GREENSBORO, N.C. – Virginia Tech’s Jarell Eddie and Christian Beyer have been named to the 2012-13 All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Men’s Basketball team, as announced today by Commissioner John Swofford.

On the academic team for a second-straight year, Jarell Eddie is second on the team in scoring (12.0) and third in rebounding (5.7). Teammate Christian Beyer is averaging 1.9 points and 3.0 rebounds in 21 games.
