Overview

• A 12-member AP sports writers panel assembled first- and second-teams to commemorate 100 years of All-America honors.
• Tim Tebow secured the all-time first-team quarterback nod, edging out Vince Young for the position.
• The Big Ten led with seven first-team picks, and Ohio State and Pittsburgh each placed three players on the first team.
• Eligibility required at least one past AP first-team selection, barred consideration of professional careers, and confined players to their collegiate positions.
• Selections include marquee names such as Barry Sanders, Randy Moss and Charles Woodson, while omissions like Anthony Munoz and Ray Guy have prompted discussion about balancing modern and early eras.
