Four Alabama players named preseason All-Americans by Associated Press

Four Alabama football players were named to the Associated Press’ 2025 preseason All-America team, the outlet publicly announced on Monday morning, including two on the first team.

Left tackle Kadyn Proctor and wide receiver Ryan Williams were first-team All-Americans, while center Parker Brailsford and defensive tackle Tim Keenan earned second-team recognition.

Texas and Penn State led all teams with three first-team nods. Alabama was tied with Ohio State, Clemson, Notre Dame and Pittsburgh with two players on the first offense and/or defense.

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