The final offseason weekend has come and gone, and now college football's 2021 season begins on Saturday for Week Zero. Talking season is almost complete, but there's still time for a little more preseason recognition. The Associated Press released its Preseason All-America teams on Monday, and Notre Dame and Iowa State lead all programs with three first-team selections each. The Fighting Irish, a preseason top-10 team, saw offensive lineman Cain Madden, all-purpose player Kyren Williams and safety Kyle Hamilton earn first-team status. Meanwhile, running back Breece Hall, tight end Charlie Kolar and linebacker Mike Rose were first-team picks for the Cyclones.
Eight more programs have at least two first-team All-Americans, including Alabama with tackle Evan Neal and linebacker Will Anderson Jr. Clemson's two first-team All-Americans were receiver Justyn Ross, who missed last season with a neck injury, and defensive lineman Bryan Bresee. Oklahoma QB and Heisman favorite Spencer Rattler made the first team with North Carolina's Sam Howell representing the second team.
