Walter Camp releases 2022 preseason All-American teams

Ohio State leads the way with four total selections – wideout Jaxson Smith-Njigba and running back TreVeyon Henderson (first team), and offensive lineman Dawand Jones and place kicker Noah Ruggles (second team).

Alabama, on the other hand, leads the way with the most first team All-American selections with three.
