GREENSBORO, N.C. – Two Virginia Tech men’s basketball players have been named to the 2016 All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Men’s Basketball team, as announced today by Commissioner John Swofford.

Devin Wilson, a junior from McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania and Jalen Hudson, a sophomore from Richmond, Virginia, were named to the team. Wilson is a repeat member of the team and Hudson is honored for the first time.

To be eligible for consideration, a student-athlete must have earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during his academic career.

Marcus Paige, a senior from the University of North Carolina, was named the winner of the Skip Prosser Award, presented annually to the top scholar-athlete in ACC men’s basketball. It is named in memory of Wake Forest head basketball coach George Edward “Skip” Prosser, who passed away on July 26, 2007. Prosser compiled a 291-146 career record in 14 seasons as a head coach, including a 126-68 mark in his six years with Wake Forest. Every Wake Forest senior he coached graduated, and the Deacons placed nine players on the annual All-ACC Academic Basketball Team during his tenure.
