Miami sets program record for 2nd consecutive year and dominates All-ACC team

Defensive linemen Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor, right tackle Francis Mauigoa and wide receiver Malachi Toney led 19 Miami players on the 2025 All-ACC team named on Monday. Bain, Mauigoa, Mesidor and Toney were named first-team All-ACC. Toney also earned second-team All-ACC as an all-purpose player.

Defensive lineman Ahmad Moten Sr., defensive backs Keionte Scott and Jakobe Thomas and guard Anez Cooper earned second-team All-ACC. Quarterback Carson Beck, OL James Brockermeyer, linebacker Wesley Bissainthe, left tackle Markel Bell and running back Mark Fletcher Jr. were named third-team All-ACC.

Defensive backs Zechariah Poyser and Damari Brown, DL David Blay Jr., LB Mohammad Toure and WR Keelan Marion earned honorable mention All-ACC. The 19 All-ACC honorees marked the second consecutive season that Miami has set the program record for all-league honorees.

Bain was named the ACC Defensive Player of the year and Toney earned the Conference's Offensive Rookie of the Year and Rookie of the Year on Wednesday. Miami had 14 out of the 42 spots on the first, second and third teams, which included Toney twice.

Bain dominated beyond his numbers this season with 37 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. Mesidor was fifth on Miami with 46 tackles and led the Hurricanes with 12.0 TFLs, 7.0 sacks, and four forced fumbles.

Mauigoa has started all 38 games he has played during his three seasons with Miami. Toney set Miami freshmen records with 84 receptions for 970 yards and seven touchdowns, added 17 carries for 89 yards and a score and completed four passes in six attempts for 82 yards and two scores.

Moten has had his best season in 2025 with 23 tackles, 7.5 TFLs and 4.5 sacks. Scott likely would have earned first-team All-ACC if he had not suffered a season-ending injury after recording 44 tackles, 10.0 TFLs, 3.0 sacks, one interception, returned for a TD, five passes defended, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble.

Thomas had 49 tackles, 3.5 TFLs, 3.0 sacks, four interceptions, one returned for a TD, four passes defended, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Cooper has started 42 games for Miami over the past four seasons, including the last 38 consecutively.

Beck led the ACC by completing 74.7 percent of his pass attempts for 3,072 yards, 25 TDs and 10 interceptions in 2025. Fletcher led Miami with 685 rushing yards and 10 TDs in 2025. Bissainthe was fourth on Miami with 46 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, one interception and one forced fumble.

Brockermeyer helped anchor the Miami offensive line after transferring from TCU. After starting five games in 2024, Bell has developed into a likely 2026 NFL Draft pick at 6'9 and 345 pounds. Poyser, Brown, Blay Jr., Toure and Marion were all key contributors for Miami in 2025.
