CLEMSON, S.C. — Senior midfielder Joran Gerbet has been named a MAC Hermann Trophy Semifinalist, the United Soccer Coaches committee announced Wednesday. The native of France adds to his many recognitions this season, already having been named an All-ACC First Team performer, the ACC Midfielder of the Year and First Team All-South Region.
The MAC Hermann Trophy, presented by World Wide Technology, is the most coveted individual honor in both men’s and women’s NCAA Division I soccer and has been awarded annually since 1967. Most recently, Clemson’s Ousmane Sylla and Florida State’s Onyi Echegini received the award for outstanding intercollegiate performances last year.
Gerbet, a 2024 team captain, was named the ACC Midfielder of the Year after finishing second on the team in points (22), with seven goals and eight assists. He was named to the ACC All-Tournament team after leading the Tigers’ to their fifth ACC title game appearance in six season. He was named First Team All-ACC and the No. 6 player on the TopDrawer Soccer Midseason Top 100 list. He was also named ACC Offensive Player of the Week on October 7 after scoring two goals in Clemson’s upset win of then-No. North Carolina.
The list of semifinalists includes fifteen players, and joining Gerbet on the list from the ACC are Ulfur Bjornsson from Duke, Bailey Sparks from SMU, Wessel Speel from Duke and Casper Svendby from Pitt. Full list of semifinalists is linked here: MAC Hermann Semifinalists.
