The 56^th annual Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Honor Roll, recognizing academic excellence by student-athletes during the 2011-12 academic year, was announced Wednesday by Commissioner John Swofford.

The Honor Roll is comprised of student-athletes who participated in a varsity-level sport and registered a grade-point average of 3.00 or better for the full academic year. The conference acknowledged a record 2,903 student-athletes for their hard work in the classroom during the 2011-12 academic year.

Virginia Tech had 225 honors on the Academic Honor Roll, including three ACC players of the year in their respective sport – Devin Carter (wrestling), Logan Shinholser (men’s diving) and Alexander Ziegler (men’s outdoor track and field). Ziegler won the national championship in the hammer throw at the NCAA’s outdoor meet in June.

Also, Tech’s Nick Brascetta made the Honor Roll. Brascetta, a wrestler, was named the ACC freshman of the year in his sport.

Duke led the league with 452 honorees, and Boston College followed with 369. Virginia was third with 291 honorees, closely followed by North Carolina with 290. Maryland saw 259 student-athletes earn honors, followed by Virginia Tech (225), NC State (209), Clemson (194), Florida State (192), Georgia Tech (149), Wake Forest (140) and Miami (133).
