The NCAA released its 2025 Consensus All-America team Friday, recognizing the nation’s top college football players.
Ohio State dominated the selections with four players earning recognition. Safety Caleb Downs, a two-time All-American, was named a Unanimous All-American along with receiver Jeremiah Smith and defensive tackle Kayden McDonald. Linebacker Arvell Reese also earned Consensus All-American honors.
Texas Tech matched Ohio State’s success with two Unanimous All-Americans. Linebacker Jacob Rodriguez and defensive lineman David Bailey both earned the Red Raiders’ highest honors.
Notre Dame also placed two players on the Unanimous team. Running back Jeremiyah Love and cornerback Leonard Moore both received first-team recognition from all five voting publications.
The selections come from five major outlets: Sporting News, AFCA, AP, Football Writers Association of America and Walter Camp. Consensus All-Americans must receive first-team honors from at least three publications.
Unanimous All-Americans appear on every first team from all five outlets.
