1946 All-Southern Conference football team
The 1946 All-Southern Conference football team consists of American football players chosen by coaches and sports writers on behalf of the Associated Press (AP) and United Press (UP) as the best at each position from the Southern Conference during the 1946 college football season. Two triple-threat backs, Howard "Touchdown" Turner of NC State and Nick Sacrinty of Wake Forest, were rated as the most consistent players in the conference. Duke led the conference with three players chosen on the first team: end Kelly Mote; tackle Al DeRogatis; and guard Bill Milner. William & Mary followed with two players on the first team: back Jack Cloud and guard Knox Ramsey. DeRogatis, Cloud, and NC State halfback Charlie Justice were late inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
