Martin Named ACC Specialist of the Week

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Duke senior Ross Martin was named the ACC Specialist of the Week, according to an announcement by the league office Monday. The league honor is the second of Martin's career and the fifth for a Blue Devil this season.

Martin received this week's honor after helping Duke to a 9-7 win against Boston College on Saturday with a trio of field goals. He equaled his personal career long with a 53-yard field goal, good for the fifth longest make in the nation this season and the longest in the ACC. Martin also kicked field goals covering 36 and 38 yards.

The Solon, Ohio, product's three field goals propelled Duke to its first win without a touchdown since a 3-0 victory against Wake Forest in 1978. Martin also moved into sole possession of second place on Duke's all-time chart for field goals of 50 or more yards with the fifth of his career.

The ACC's other weekly honors included North Carolina's quarterback Marquise Williams and offensive lineman Caleb Peterson as well as Clemson's defensive lineman Kevin Dodd and linebacker B.J. Goodson. Wake Forest receiver Cam Serigne, Pitt defensive back Terrish Webb, Florida State defensive back Trey Marshall and Louisville rookie Lamar Jackson completed the league's selections. 

Duke has had 20 ACC honorees in the last 23 weeks the league has presented awards, including two weeks when the Blue Devils were on a bye.

The Blue Devils (4-1, 2-0 ACC) travel to West Point, N.Y., this weekend to face Army West Point (1-4) at noon Saturday. The contest will be televised on the CBS Sports Network.
