2018 Consensus All-America
The following players were listed on the most first team All-America teams competing against players at that position only. To be selected a player must be named first team on at least two of the five selected All-America teams. Second teams were used to break ties. Eight players were unanimous choices at specific positions by the five organizations used in the consensus chart — American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, The Sporting News and Walter Camp Foundation. Note: Each of the five teams has a different way of listing the returner or all-purpose player. For the purpose of the Consensus All- America team those categories were treated as one position.
