Yes as a member of the ASCMA I cast my vote for both Joe Vellano (1st team) and Demetrius Hartsfield yesterday
from umterps.com
Maryland’s Joe Vellano and Demetrius Hartsfieldwere voted to the 2011 All-ACC football team in an announcement Monday by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (ACSMA).
Vellano was a first-team choice along the defensive line, while Hartsfield earned an honorable-mention nod at linebacker.
Vellano, a 2010 second team all-conference selection, posted 94 tackles, including 7.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks, four pass breakups and two fumble recoveries this season. The junior from Rexford, N.Y., leads the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in tackles by a defensive lineman (7.8 per game). He’s the first Maryland defensive tackle to earn first team all-league honors since Dre Moore in 2007, and just the fourth Terp (Randy Starks – 2003; Delbert Cowsette – 1999) in the last 21 years to earn that distinction. Vellano’s father, Joe, was a first team All-ACC defensive tackle with the Terps in 1972 and 1973.
