Three Wake Forest football players -- offensive guard Michael Collins, wide receiver Fabian Davis and defensive back Caron Bracy -- earned ACC Player of the Week honors on Monday.

The Deacon trio earned the honor for their performances in Saturday's 38-35 regular season-ending 38-35 win over visiting Northern Illinois. Wake Forest players earned ACC Player of the Week honors 11 times in the 2001 season.

Collins, a 6-6, 292-pound senior from Hickory, N.C., helped Wake Forest produce 389 total yards against Northern Illinois. For Collins, it marked the second time this season he was named Offensive Lineman of the Week. He also earned the honor after Wake's season-opening win over East Carolina.

Davis was named the ACC's Specialist of the Week. Davis, a 5-11, 180-pound junior from Greenville, S.C., had 120 return yards and 65 receiving yards in the Deacons' 38-35 win over Northern Illinois. Davis returned three kickoffs for 74 yards including a long of 37 yards. He returned three punts for 46 yards including a long of 26 yards and caught three passes for 65 yards including a long of 47. Davis also rushed two times for 12 yards.

Bracy was named the ACC Rookie of theWeek. Bracy, a 6-0, 213-pound freshman from Jacksonville, Fla., recorded six tackles including four solo stops, in Saturday's 38-35 win over Northern Illinois. Bracy is the second Wake freshman to earn that honor. Marcus McGruder won the award earlier this season.

Wake Forest concluded the regular season with a 6-5 record and now awaits a possible at-large bid to a postseason bowl game.
