“We are extremely proud of our All-ACC Academic honorees,” Coach Pat Narduzzi said. “We want our student-athletes to be achievers in everything they do and these six young men embody that quality. Their work ethic and commitment made them standouts on the field and in the classroom.”
Bisnowaty (Pittsburgh, Pa./Fox Chapel) was honored on the All-ACC Academic Football Team for the fourth consecutive year. Owning a bachelor’s degree in communication, he spent this past year pursuing his graduate work in health and fitness. Bisnowaty is a two-time first-team All-ACC offensive lineman.

Mitchell (Pittsburgh, Pa./Shady Side Academy) earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing and is now enrolled in Pitt’s Katz Graduate School of Business. He was a fixture in Pitt’s secondary during his career, playing both safety and corner.
Orndoff (Waynesboro, Pa./Seton-LaSalle) is a three-time All-ACC Academic Football team honoree.
