GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Four Demon Deacons were selected to the 2015 All-ACC Football Team as selected by the league's 14 head coaches, the conference announced on Wednesday.
Seniors Brandon Chubb and Alexander Kinal were both first team picks, while junior Brad Watson and sophomore Cam Serigne received honorable mention nods.
Chubb, a 6-1, 245-pound inside linebacker from Marietta, Georgia (Hillgrove), led the Demon Deacons with 107 tackles this season. He had 10 or more tackles in six contests including 11 in each of the final two games of the season. A two-year team captain, Chubb was a third team All-ACC selection by the coaches in 2014.
Chubb is the first Wake Forest linebacker to earn first team All-ACC honors since Aaron Curry in 2008.
Kinal, a 6-4, 205-pound senior from Adelaide, South Australia (St. Peter's), finished third in the ACC in punting average at 43.8 yards per punt. His 32 punts inside the opponent's 20-yard line was the most in the ACC and his three touchbacks tied for the lowest in the conference. As a team, Wake Forest led the ACC in net punting with a 41.3 average.
He is named to the first team for the first time in his career after previously earning second team and honorable mention honors.
A 6-0, 190-pound cornerback from Round Rock, Texas (Westwood), Watson is honored for the first time in his career. He led the ACC in the regular season with 18 passes defended, leading the team with two interceptions and 16 pass breakups. He also finished tied for second on the squad with 72 tackles.
Serigne, a 6-3, 245-pound tight end from Ashburn, Virginia (Briar Woods) was second on the team with 46 receptions and tied for the team lead with four touchdown receptions. He had his most productive game as a Deacon against Duke when he caught five passes for 135 yards and a touchdown.
