AP All-Time All-America college football team
In 2025, to mark the 100th anniversary of the Associated Press' annual College football All-America team,[1] a panel of AP sportswriters selected an all-time first and second team composed of the top players between 1925 and 2025.[2][3]
Since 1925, nearly 2,000 men have earned AP first-team All-America honors.[4] To be considered for the AP All-Time All-America list, a player must have received first-team recognition at least once.[5] As a result, notable players like Anthony Muñoz were never eligible and punter Ray Guy was also excluded because the Associated Press did not select punters for its All-America team during his era.[6]
