ALL-AMERICA

RB Christian McCaffrey, Stanford: He’s a do-everything, boxscore-filling weapon with no equal in the FBS.

RB Leonard Fournette, LSU: College football hasn’t seen a physical specimen like Fournette since Adrian Peterson at Oklahoma.

WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, Southern California: SmithSchuster is the next All-America pick for a program with a history of outstanding receivers.

WR Calvin Ridley, Alabama: He’ll be an even more complete weapon as a sophomore.

TE Jake Butt, Michigan: Amid a dearth of proven weapons at the position, Butt’s production stands out.

OL Cam Robinson, Alabama: The bulldozing junior would be the prototypical tackle for any offense.

OL Dan Feeney, Indiana: Feeney is undoubtedly the most underrecognized lineman in the country and one of the most unheralded stars in all of college football.

OL Tyler Orlosky, West Virginia: The senior has earned the right to be recognized as the best center in the country.

OL Dorian Johnson, Pittsburgh: An imposing running game rolls behind the Panthers’ left guard. USA Today chose University of Memphis senior Jake Elliott as its All-America kicker Thursday. Elliott is the two-time defending American Athletic Conference special teams player of the year and a three-time first-team all-conference pick.

OL Roderick Johnson, Florida State: This is the year Johnson combines his physical gifts with his growing experience.

DEFENSE

DL Myles Garrett, Texas A&M: Destined to be a high pick in next year’s NFL draft, Garrett was fifth in sacks and eighth in TFLs last season.

DL Malik McDowell, Michigan State: A strong close to 2015 has McDowell ready to lead the MSU defense by example.

DL Lowell Lotulelei, Utah: Lotulelei isn’t flashy, but he’s a nearly immovable force for perhaps the best defensive line in the country.

DL Jonathan Allen, Alabama: Allen’s impact extends far beyond his own totals, which included the seventh-most sacks in the FBS in 2015.

LB Raekwon McMillan, Ohio State: Ohio State’s offseason

Scott’s excellence makes him a vital part of the Tide’s defense.

Returner Evan Berry, Tennessee: Berry’s 2015 kickoff return average was the best in the FBS by almost 5 yards.
