Like the rest of college football, the ACC is going through a reset of sorts when it comes to its stars.

Yes, Clemson remains the unquestioned top team heading into the 2018 season. But the rest of the league, at least in terms of the players you follow, will look much different. Gone is Heisman winner Lamar Jackson, plus five other first-round picks from the conference.

With so much turnover at the top of the league, 247Sports is taking a look at the ACC and some of its standout returners. Using PFF College’s rating system, which grades on a 1-100 scale, these are the top 20 returning players in the ACC entering 2018.

Some of the names are to be expected. Some of the names will surprise you.

Either way, these will be the torchbearers for the ACC in 2018. Also, it’s important to stress here that these are PFF College’s top-rated returning players from the 2017 season. This list won’t necessarily reflect the 20 most talented players in the ACC or even the 20 best. It’s a listing of the 20 athletes coming off the highest-rated 2017 seasons.
