ESPN releases 2022 college football midseason All-American Team

With the college football season in full-swing, ESPN has released their midseason 2022 All-American Team.

“We’ve reached the midpoint of the 2022 college football season, and some new faces — both teams and players — have navigated their way to the front of the line,” wrote Chris Low of ESPN. “Tennessee is unbeaten and ranked No. 3, the Vols’ highest in-season AP ranking since 2001. Ole Miss also is unbeaten and the No. 7 Rebels have won 11 straight regular-season games dating back to last year. TCU and UCLA cracked the AP top 10 this week. It’s the highest ranking for the Horned Frogs (No. 8) since 2017 and the highest for the Bruins (No. 9) since 2015.

“The fresh faces extend to ESPN’s midseason All-America team, which includes only five players who were on our preseason team. Alabama, Ohio State and Tennessee each placed two players on the team. Overall, the 26 players selected on offense, defense and special teams come from 23 teams.”

With a bevy of fantastic athletes to choose from, separating the best of the best was no easy task. Here’s who ESPN believes deserves the recognition at the midpoint of the season.
