The Associated Press released its 2024 All-America Team on Monday, highlighted by Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter of Colorado earning three different nods. Hunter captured first-team honors at cornerback and all-purpose, and also earned a second-team honor at wide receiver. He joined Notre Dame’s Xavier Watts as the only players to repeat as first-team selections over the past two years.
However, runner-up running back Ashton Jeanty was the only unanimous selection to the list after rushing for 2,497 yards and 29 touchdowns in one of the greatest seasons ever by a running back. He led a stacked group at the position, along with top-five Heisman finisher Cam Skattebo of Arizona State. Heisman finalist quarterbacks Cam Ward (Miami) and Dillon Gabriel (Oregon) also earned All-America honors, alongside second-team pick Shedeur Sanders.
The SEC had the most first-team selections with six, but the ACC and Big Ten were close behind at five. The Big 12 earned four picks on the first team, while the MAC shocked with three selections: Addison West (Western Michigan), Harold Fannin (Bowling Green) and Shaun Dolac (Buffalo).
