The ACC released its Preseason All-Conference Team on Tuesday, naming UNC junior wide receiver Anthony Ratliff-Williams to the team as a specialist.

Ratliff-Williams was the only Tar Heel selected to the Preseason All-ACC roster, just one day after UNC was picked by media members to finish sixth in the league’s Coastal Division.

Last season saw the Matthews, North Carolina native return a total of 34 kicks back for a combined 895 yards and two touchdowns–while also emerging as the Tar Heels’ top threat in the passing game by catching 35 passes for 630 yards and six scores.

Clemson led all ACC schools with eight players named to the Preseason All-Conference team. Boston College running back AJ Dillon was selected as the league’s Preseason Player of the Year.
