University of Louisville wide receiver Chris Bell and running back Isaac Brown were named to the Atlantic Coast Conference All-Preseason squad in a vote by ACC media members on Thursday.
Bell was the team’s second-leading receiver last year, catching 43 passes for 737 yards and four touchdowns. He posted a pair of 100-yard receiving games last year, posting 112 yards at Stanford and 101 yards against Pitt.
Brown enters the 2025 season after an impressive freshman campaign that saw him tally over 1,500 all-purpose yards and 12 touchdowns. Brown set Louisville’s freshman rushing record and was the first Louisville true freshman to rush for over 1,000 yards. The Miami native earned Freshman All-America honors and was named the ACC Rookie and Offensive Rookie of the Year.
This year’s preseason squad includes 16 returning All-ACC honorees from 2024, including 10 first-team selections, five second-team picks and one third-team honoree. Notably, it features both of last season’s ACC Rookies of the Year: Louisville running back Isaac Brown (Offensive) and Clemson linebacker Sammy Brown (Defensive).
The 2025 ACC Football Championship Game will kick off in primetime at 8 p.m. ET on ABC on Saturday, December 6, at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Tickets and premium seating options are on sale now through both Ticketmaster and theACC.com.
The Cardinals open the season on Aug. 30 versus Eastern Kentucky at 3 p.m. on the ACC Network.
