GREENSBORO, N.C. - North Carolina junior Josh Downs has been selected on the 2022 All-Atlantic Coast Conference Preseason Football Team announced on Wednesday.

Downs led all players named to the preseason team with 128 votes at wide receiver and was also selected as the team specialist with 56 votes at that position. Downs set program records in 2021 with 101 receptions and 1,335 receiving yards. He ranked third in the ACC (13th nationally) averaging 9.8 yards per punt return.

Downs will begin the 2022 campaign on the watch lists for the Biletnikoff Award (outstanding FBS receiver) and the Maxwell Award, handed out each season to the College Player of the Year since 1937.

The native of Suwanee, Ga., has also been named a 2022 preseason All-American by Sporting News.
