With players from the 2015 recruiting class getting ready to start their college careers, we decided to take a look back at past ACC signing classes.

Headliner: Jordon McMichael, TE, 4-star
McMichael never really got on track at Boston College. He redshirted as a freshman and then missed the following year due to injury. McMichael finished his Boston College career with eight catches for 104 yards and two touchdowns.
