College football All-America teams 2023: Tracking SEC players on first, second teams

USA TODAY NETWORK

While the 2023 college football regular season is over, and with bowl games yet to begin, the sport isn't going into slumber as its annual barrage of awards awaits.

While many of the top individual awards have been handed out, highlighted by the Dec. 9 Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York, a number of All-America teams will be revealed in the coming days.

The teams honor the top players nationally on various offensive, defensive and special teams positions, giving them a designation that will be etched into the annals of their respective programs and the sport as a whole.

Making a single All-America team is an impressive accomplishment in and of itself, but a player can become a consensus All-American if they’re honored by each of these five bodies – the Associated Press, The Sporting News, the Walter Camp Football Foundation, the Football Writers Association of America and the American Football Coaches Association.
