Five Syracuse (5-7, 2-6 Atlantic Coast) players earned nods to the All-ACC teams and a sixth earned an honorable mention, the conference announced on Tuesday. 

Punter Sterling Hofrichter is SU’s lone first-team representative, earning first-team honors for the second year in a row. The redshirt senior led the conference in punts inside the 20-yard line and fair catches, also ranking second in total punt yardage. Hofrichter is a finalist for the Ray Guy Award, given annually to the country’s most outstanding punter. 

The Orange also featured a pair of second-team honorees in safety Andre Cisco and wide receiver Trishton Jackson. Cisco, named an All-American and the ACC defensive rookie of the year as a true freshman last season, missed three games this year but still led the conference in interceptions (5). On the other side of the ball, Jackson was arguably SU’s offensive MVP this season. The Michigan State transfer broke out for team-highs of 66 catches, 1,023 yards and 11 touchdowns, all of which ranked in the top-five of the ACC. 

Kicker Andre Szmyt and middle linebacker Lakiem Williams rounded out SU’s selections with third-team All-ACC honors. Szmyt, who won the Lou Groza award for the nation’s top kicker last season, followed up his debut with a solid redshirt sophomore campaign. The Vernon Hills, Illinois native made 39 of 40 extra points and 17 of 20 field goals, including a perfect 4-for-4 performance in the season finale against Wake Forest. After playing sparingly in his first season at Syracuse last year, Williams led the team with 110 tackles and 12.5 for a loss this season. Williams played his first two years of college at Butte College before transferring to SU, where his tackle total this season led the ACC. 

Senior defensive end Alton Robinson earned an honorable mention after finishing this season with 46 tackles, 4.5 sacks and 10 quarterback hits. He’ll head to Mobile, Alabama for the 2020 Senior Bowl, scheduled to play on Jan. 25.
