Pack OT named midseason AA by ESPN last week

RALEIGH, N.C. – For the second straight week, NC State offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu was named a mid-season All-American for his performance so far in 2021. Last week it was by ESPN, and this week he adds the Athletic honor to his resume.

Here is the writeup:

PFF's highest-graded tackle so far this season was singled out last March by Bruce Feldman as one of college football's most underrated players, with one ACC assistant calling him "the most feared offensive lineman in the ACC." The Wolfpack are 6-1 with a win against Clemson, and Ekwonu headlines a line that has limited negative plays.
