He finished his rookie season in 2011 with 40 combined tackles (35 solo), seven sacks, two pass deflections, and four forced fumbles in 16 games and ten starts.
Out of high school, Acho was rated the 6th best football prospect at his position (weak side defensive end) in the country, despite playing for a small boys school that is better known for its academics (one rating service concluded his school was the best 12-year private school in the country and the best science-oriented school—public or private—in the state).
