1915 All-America college football team
The 1915 All-America college football team is composed of college football players who were selected as All-Americans for the 1915 college football season. The only selectors for the 1915 season who have been recognized as "official" by the National Collegiate Athletic Association are Walter Camp, whose selections were published in Collier's Weekly, and the International News Service, a newswire founded by William Randolph Hearst.
Although not recognized by the NCAA, many other sports writers, newspapers, and coaches selected All-America teams in 1915. They include Parke H. Davis, Walter Eckersall, and Fielding H. Yost.
