Polino Named To All-ACC Academic Team

North Carolina junior Nick Polino, an economics major from Buford, Ga., has been selected as part of the 2018 All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic team for football, announced Wednesday by the league office. The honor is based on academic and athletic performance during the 2018 season.

After playing in 20 games during his first two years as a Tar Heel, Polino started every game at offensive guard as a junior. He's one of 70 ACC players to earn the academic honor this season.

Minimum academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team are a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during a student-athlete's academic career.
