FWAA releases Freshman All-America Team

The Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) on Monday released its 32-man 2021 Freshman All-America Team, which features a combined 13 players from the Big Ten and SEC.

Overall, the Big Ten led all conferences with eight players named to the FWAA All-America Team, as Ohio State (three selections) and Iowa (two selections) paced the conference. The SEC was close behind the Big Ten with seven selections, and Texas A&M helped carry the SEC’s weight with two honorees. Behind the Big Ten and SEC was the Big 12 and Pac-12, which had three selections each.

The FWAA Freshman All-America team includes players who were redshirt freshman or freshman playing in their second season due to the NCAA’s amended COVID-19 eligibility rules, in addition to true freshman.
