11/18/2019 11:14:00 AM | Football
DURHAM, N.C. – Duke redshirt junior kicker AJ Reed earned ACC Specialist Player of the Week honors following Duke's game on Saturday.
Reeds honor gives Duke its fourth weekly award recognition of the season after Koby Quansah, Jack Wohlabaugh and Victor Dimukeje were also acknowledged earlier in the year.
Â
The Prattville, Ala., native converted field goals of 31 yards and a career-best 51 yards versus Syracuse last Saturday. Thanks to his second kick, Reed became the sixth player in Duke history to record multiple field goals of 50-or more yards in a season. He is the only ACC kicker this year with three field goals of 49-or-more yards. His .846 field goal percentage is tops among league kickers with at least one made field goal of 50-or-more yards as well. Finally, he finds himself one of only two kickers in the ACC with multiple field goals of 50-or-more yards this season.
The ACC's other weekly honors included Pittsburgh's Kenny Pickett (quarterback) and Jaylen Twyman (defensive line); Clemson's Travis Etienne (running back); North Carolina's Dazz Newsome (receiver) and Sam Howell (rookie); Syracuse's Dakota Davis (offensive line) and Lakiem Williams (co-linebacker); Lousville's Dorian Etheridge (co-linebacker), and Florida State's Hamsah Nasirildeen (defensive back).Â
Â
The Blue Devils return to action Saturday at 7:30 p.m. when they travel to Wake Forest. The game will be televised by the ACC Network.
