GREENSBORO, N.C. – Duke junior Johnell Barnes was named the ACC Receiver of the Week, according to an announcement by the league office Tuesday. The league honor is the first of Barnes' career and the first for a Blue Devil this season.

Barnes received this week's honor after helping Duke to a 37-7 win at Tulane last Thursday. He tallied a personal-best 11 receptions for a career-high 109 yards and a touchdown.

The Lehigh Acres, Fla., product's 11 receptions are tied for the fourth most in the country this season, behind Idaho's Dezman Epps (14), Western Michigan's Daniel Braverman (13) and UL-Monroe's Rashon Ceaser (13).

The ACC's other weekly honors included Pittsburgh's linebacker Nicholas Grigsby, rookie Qadree Ollison and specialist Avonte Maddox. Florida State quarterback Everett Golson, North Carolina offensive lineman Landon Turner, Boston College defensive lineman Mehdi Abdesmad and Louisville defensive back Josh-Harvey Clemons completed the league's selections.

Duke has had 16 ACC honorees in the last 19 weeks the league has presented awards, including two weeks when the Blue Devils were on a bye. Duke ended 2014 with six student-athletes receiving eight total ACC Player of the Week honors.

The Blue Devils open the home season Saturday at 6 p.m. ET with the Bull City Gridiron Classic against North Carolina Central. Tickets are available at GoDuke.com/footballtix or by calling the Duke Athletic Ticket Office at 919-681-BLUE.
