Virginia seniors Oday Aboushi and Steve Greer have named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference Preseason Team in voting conducted by the media at the annual ACC Football Kickoff. Aboushi, who lines up at offensive tackle, and Greer, who lines up at middle linebacker, are two of the 25 players selected to the preseason team. Both players were named second-team All-ACC after the 2011 season.

The latest news is part of what has been a honor-heavy preseason for the two players. Aboushi, who has started 25 straight games at UVa, received preseason All-American recognition courtesy of Athlon Sports and landed a spot on the Outland Trophy watch list. Greer, who led Virginia in tackles a year ago, made the watch lists for the Nagurski Trophy, the Lombardi Award, and the Lott IMPACT Trophy.
