The official 2009 All-ACC preseason team was announced today, and two Terps are on it. Travis Baltz, who was second only to Jonathan Dwyer in votes received and was a shoo-in, and Alex Wujciak, who had the third least votes and was borerline, made the cut. I was a bit surprised neither Torrey Smith (as a specialist) nor Da'Rel Scott made the list, but I'm sure they'll be on the second team when that list comes out. Congrats to both, and the full list is below the jump:
