Postseason recognition is a sign that the college football regular season has reached a conclusion. USA TODAY Sports started calculating results for its All-American team, and released information Tuesday afternoon. Alabama leads all teams with four All-American selections, per Paul Myerberg.
Running back Derrick Henry and offensive lineman Ryan Kelly both made first-team offense. Linebacker Reggie Ragland made first-team on defense. Defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson was the lone player not selected to first-team. The junior made second team All-American for defense.
Stanford, Baylor, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Florida State all were tied with three selections each.
