STANFORD, Calif. — Four Cardinal earned All-ACC recognition for the 2026 season, highlighted by sophomore Jack Pymm, who was named ACC Co-Midfielder of the Year, as announced by the conference office on Wednesday.
Pymm was also selected to the All-ACC First Team, while junior Alex Chow earned All-ACC Third Team honors. Freshmen Jayden Fitzgerald Boes and Tim Fortier rounded out Stanford's selections, each earning a spot on the All-ACC Freshman Team.
The ACC yearly award winners were decided by the league's 15 head coaches.Â
Pymm's selection as Co-Midfielder of the Year is the latest achievement for the Stamford, Conn., native, who established himself as one of the nation's top midfielders during his sophomore campaign.Â
Pymm, who shares the team lead in goals (7) and points (15), has had eyes for the net in 2026, ranking second in the conference in shots per game (3.81) and shots on goal per game (1.44). In a 3-1 victory against Denver on Aug. 23, Pymm scored a goal while recording a Stanford single-game record 13 shots, the highest single-game total by a Division I men’s player since James Madison’s Manuel Ferriol recorded 14 shots in 2019.
The sophomore adds his first All-ACC First Team selection to his growing list of collegiate honors after earning All-ACC Freshman Team recognition in his debut season on The Farm.
Chow earns his first All-ACC recognition after a strong campaign in the Cardinal midfield, setting career marks in goals (3), points (8), and game-winning goals (1), while tying his personal marks in assists (2) and shots on goal (10).
Fitzgerald Boes and Fortier each made an immediate impact in their first collegiate seasons, earning All-ACC Freshman Team selections. Fitzgerald Boes, an Oakland native, turned into one of the top freshman forwards in the country, holding a share of the team lead with seven goals and 15 points in his 12 starts.Â
Fitzgerald Boes recorded the program's first hat trick in 14 years in Stanford's 4-0 victory over CSUN on Sept. 7, becoming the first Cardinal freshman to accomplish the feat since Matt Janusz in 2001.
Fortier, who represented the Canadian National Team at the CONCACAF U20 Championships before his arrival on The Farm, emerged as a steady presence in a talented Cardinal midfield, starting 11 of the first 13 matches of his career.
