The 2023-24 NCAA athletics season is over, meaning it's officially the college football preseason! As is tradition, I like to release an All-America team for the upcoming year. Below, I have a first- and second-team, All-Transfer team, and All-Freshman team, back by popular demand!

Last year, 18 first team All-America selections from our list were drafted into the NFL – including 10 in the first round – and the remaining four returned to school. Seven of our offensive selections ended on the AP All-America list and four landed on defense.
