The Sporting News unveiled its midseason All-America team on Wednesday, and Alabama had two players — both on the offensive side of the ball — recognized at the year’s midway point.

Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson and center Parker Brailsford were both named first-team All-Americans by the outlet after the first seven weeks of the 2025 college football season.

Alabama was one of four schools, along with Miami, Oregon and Texas A&M, with two players apiece on the team. The Big Ten led all conferences with 10 players; the SEC produced nine.

Sporting News is one of five outlets used to determine consensus All-American status at the end of each college football season, along with the Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, American Football Coaches Association and Walter Camp Foundation.
