AP reveals First-Team, Second-Team, Third-Team All-Americans for 2025

The postseason will begin this weekend with kickoff in the College Football Playoff. Among the final regular-season honors are now out, though, with the release of the All-American Teams by those at the Associated Press.

The AP posted their First-Team, Second-Team, and Third-Team All-Americans in a release on Monday morning, as a result of votes cast by those who also contribute to the AP Top-25. 81 players from 43 programs across the country earned nods from the Associated Press, with Ohio State (8) and Indiana (6) leading the way while Oregon and Texas Tech had four apiece and three apiece were at Texas A&M, Miami, and Notre Dame.

Here were those First, Second, and Third-Team All-Americans as revealed this morning by the AP:
