1908 College Football All-America Team
The 1908 College Football All-America team is composed of college football players who were selected as All-Americans for the 1908 college football season. The only two individuals who have been recognized as "official" selectors by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for the 1908 season are Walter Camp and Caspar Whitney, who had originated the College Football All-America Team 14 years earlier in 1889. Camp's 1908 All-America Team was published in Collier's Weekly, and Whitney's selections were published in Outing magazine. Many other sports writers, newspapers, coaches and others also selected All-America teams in 1910. The Philadelphia Inquirer published a consensus All-America team based on the first-team All-America selections made by 25 football experts.
Consensus All-Americans
The only two individuals who have been recognized as "official" selectors by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for the 1908 season are Walter Camp and Caspar Whitney, who had originated the College Football All-America Team 14 years earlier in 1889. In its official listing of "Consensus All-America Selections," the NCAA designates players who were selected by either Camp or Whitney as "consensus" All-Americans. Using this criterion, the NCAA recognizes 16 players as "consensus" All-American for the 1908 football season. The consensus All-Americans are identified in bold on the list below ("All-Americans of 1908").
