2025 All-America college football team


The 2025 All-America college football team includes those players of American college football who have been honored by various selector organizations as the best players at their respective positions. The selector organizations award the "All-America" honor annually following the conclusion of the fall college football season. The original All-America team was the All-America college football team selected by Caspar Whitney. The National Collegiate Athletic Bureau, which is the National Collegiate Athletic Association's service bureau, compiled in the 1950s the first list of All-Americans, including first-team selections on teams created for a national audience. Since 1957, College Sports Communicators has bestowed Academic All-American recognition on male and female athletes in Divisions I, II, and III of the NCAA, as well as NAIA and NJCAA athletes.
The 2025 All-America college football team will be composed of the following All-America college football first teams chosen by the following selector organizations: Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, American Football Coaches Association, Walter Camp Football Foundation, Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, The Athletic, USA Today, ESPN, CBS Sports, Pro Football Focus, College Football News, Athlon Sports, and Phil Steele.
Currently, the NCAA compiles consensus All-America teams in the sports of Division I FBS football and Division I men's basketball using a point system computed from All-America teams named by coaches associations or media sources. In football, the teams are compiled by position, and the player accumulating the most points at each
position is named a first-team consensus All-American. If there is a tie at a position for first team, then the
players who are tied shall be named to the team. Players named first-team by all five selectors are deemed unanimous All-Americans. Currently, the NCAA recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN and the WCFF to determine consensus and unanimous All-Americans.
The following players were recognized as consensus All-Americans for 2025. Unanimous selections are followed by an asterisk.
In 2025, there were 13 unanimous All-Americans.
