For 100 years, The Associated Press has honored the best of the best in college football with its annual All-America team. Nearly 2,000 men — from Red Grange to Travis Hunter — have earned the distinction of AP All-American in a tradition that rivals the longest in the history of the game.

Two Notre Dame 2026 football commitments earned spots on Rivals' 2025 preseason high school All-American list. Notre Dame's 2026 recruiting class has been in the news for a good portion of the offseason due to the high volume of top talent that the Fighting Irish were able to get committed.

The exceptions were Arizona State receiver Jordyn Tyson, Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano, USC receiver/returner Makai Lemon and Oregon edge rusher Matayo Uiagalelei and safety Dillon Thieneman. Put another way: Just one of nine spots on the lines of scrimmage went to a player from the Pacific and Mountain time zones.
