The last man to wear the legendary No. 44, Rob Konrad, has been selected as a member of the 2023 ACC Honors Class.
This year's 14-member class of honorees includes Boston College's Gosder Cherilus, Clemson's Jeff Bostic, Duke's Matt Daniels, Florida State's Charlie Ward, Georgia Tech's George O'Leary, Louisville's Michael Bush, Miami's Dennis Harrah, North Carolina's Alge Crumpler, NC State's Ray Agnew, Pitt's Jackie Sherrill, Syracuse's Robert Konrad, Virginia's Rondé Barber, Virginia Tech's Jeff King and Wake Forest's Bill Ard.
"We are thrilled to announce this year's ACC Honors Class and we look forward to the opportunity to recognize these amazing individuals who have made incredible contributions to their respective institutions," said ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips, Ph.D. "The ACC Football Honors event is a meaningful part of our ACC Football Championship Game weekend, and we are proud to celebrate another extraordinary class of former student-athletes and coaches."
Konrad, the last in a long lineage of great Syracuse backs to wear the legendary number, was an All-BIG EAST selection in his time with the Orange, before going on to a six-year pro career in the NFL. Konrad had 295 carries for 1,516 yards (5.1 yards per carry) and 20 touchdowns in his collegiate career. He also caught 41 passes for 473 yards and three more scores.
Konrad was a team captain of the 1998 BIG EAST Championship squad and earned the Mark Hoffman Award as the team's most outstanding running back. A two-time Doak Walker Award candidate and a 1999 Senior Bowl selection, Konrad was selected with the 43rd overall pick to the Miami Dolphins in the 1999 NFL Draft.
This year's class will be celebrated during the ACC Football Honors program presented by the Charlotte Sports Foundation at the Belk Theater in Uptown Charlotte on the evening of Friday, Dec. 1, and during the on-field pregame festivities at the 2023 ACC Football Championship Game, set for 8 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 2, at Bank of America Stadium. ACC Network will air the ACC Football Honors production on Dec. 15 at 7 p.m.
The ACC Football Honors program will start on Friday at 5:30 p.m. Tickets to the event are $150 and include a pre-show reception as well as a post-show reception. Tickets are on sale now via Blumenthal Performing Arts.
