During the College Football Awards Show in Atlanta on Thursday night, the Walter Camp Football Foundation released its All-America Team.
For Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, he was awarded both Walter Camp Football Player of the Year and made first-team All-American from the organization.
Offensive tackle Jonah Williams, wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and defensive lineman Quinnen Williams were named to the first team as well.
The trio of Tagovailoa, Williams and Jeudy on offense has changed the perception of Crimson Tide football for a lot of people – especially with the program averaging 47.9 points and 528 yards per matchup through 13 games this season.

When it comes to Quinnen Williams, the fifth Outland Trophy winner in school history has disrupted every offense he has faced. The 6-foot-4, 295-pound redshirt sophomore chimes in with 66 total tackles, including 18 tackles for loss (team-high) and eight sacks.
He falls second to linebacker Christian Miller (12) in quarterback pressures with 11 and has guided Alabama to having one of college football’s best scoring defenses (14.8 ppg) and total defenses (295.4 ypg).
The duo of linebacker Dylan Moses and safety Deionte Thompson landed on the second team All-American group for Walter Camp. Moses, a Butkus Award finalist, quietly put together an exceptional sophomore year.
He leads the team in total tackles (76) and has 10 tackles for loss with 3.5 sacks. After making the All-Freshman Team for the Southeastern Conference in 2017, Moses was selected second-team All-SEC from the league’s coaches earlier this week.
As for Thompson, the redshirt junior is second on the squad in tackles (70) and has two interceptions.
He stands with five pass breakups and carries a team-high three forced fumbles through 13 games. Thompson was one of five Tide players named first-team All-SEC; joining Tua Tagovailoa, Jerry Jeudy, Jonah Williams and Quinnen Williams via the league’s coaches.
