RICHMOND, Va. – Richmond natives Clelin Ferrell and Greg Dortch received ACC player of the week honors after standout performances over the weekend.

Greg Dortch, a former Highland Springs standout, electrified his Wake Forest Demon Deacons Saturday with two punt returns for touchdowns in a win over Towson.
The sophomore wide receiver posted the most all-purpose yards of any player in the nation in Saturday, earning this week’s ACC specialist of the week award.
