The Associate Press released its 2023 All-America team on Monday, and it includes several high-profile players fresh off fantastic seasons. LSU quarterback and 2023 Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels, who previously took home AP College Football Player of the Year honors, was a shoe-in for the first team. He's also emblematic of a trend among this year's selections; all three quarterbacks -- Daniels, Washington's Michael Penix Jr. and Oregon's Bo Nix -- are in at least their fifth year at the collegiate level. 

Defensively, Alabama has three players on the first team. Two members of the Crimson Tide's secondary in cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry and defensive back Terrion Arnold made the cut. Texas defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat, who won the Outland Trophy, also stands out on the defensive first team. The SEC leads the way with nine first-team selections, followed by the Big Ten (6), Pac-12 (4) and Big 12 (3). The ACC is the only power conference without more than one player on the first team.
