11/9/2021 9:59:00 AM | Football
Syracuse legend Markus Paul is part of this year's ACC Honors class, the league announced on Tuesday.
Paul was a four-year starter for the Orange, who went on to a five-year NFL career before a successful career as an NFL strength and conditioning coach, where he coached five Super Bowl champion teams. He tragically passed away at the age of 54 last November.
The 14-member group includes Boston College's Mark Herzlich, Clemson's David Treadwell, Duke's Anthony Dilweg, Florida State's Peter Warrick, Georgia Tech's Morgan Burnett, Louisville's Harry Douglas, Miami's Reggie Wayne, North Carolina's Vonnie Holliday, NC State's Jerricho Cotchery, Pitt's Dan Marino, Syracuse's Markus Paul, Virginia's Shawn Moore, Virginia's Tech's Frank Beamer and Wake Forest's Desmond Clark.
Paul was a key member of the 1987 unbeaten team at Syracuse and was a two-time finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, presented to the nation's most outstanding defensive back. He still holds 'Cuse's career interceptions record with 19.
 This year's class will be honored during the ACC Football Honors presented by the Charlotte Sports Foundation at the Blumenthal Arts Center's Booth Playhouse on the evening of Friday, Dec. 3, and during the on-field pregame festivities at the 17th annual Subway ACC Football Championship Game, set for 8 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 4, at Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium.
