Ralph D. Russo | The Associated Press | December 12, 2017 No. 2 Oklahoma leads with three 1st-team AP All-Americans Baker Mayfield, Orlando Brown and Mark Andrews of Oklahoma were selected to the AP All-America team. Share No. 2 Oklahoma will bring three All-Americans to the College Football Playoff. Quarterback Baker Mayfield, offensive tackle Orlando Brown and tight end Mark Andrews of Oklahoma were selected to the Associated Press All-America team, giving the Sooners more players on the first team than any school. The All-America team, which dates to 1925 and was selected this season by a panel of 17 Top 25 voters, was released Monday. Four of the top five vote-getters for the Heisman Trophy made the first team, including the runaway winner Mayfield. Stanford's Bryce Love, the Heisman runner-up, and San Diego State's Rashaad Penny, the nation's leading rusher and fifth-place finisher for the Heisman, were the first-team running backs. Penn State's Saquon Barkley, who finished fourth in the Heisman voting, made the team as an all-purpose player. .@baker_mayfield6, @ZEUS__78 and @Mandrews_81 named to @AP All-America team. #Sooners lead the nation with 3 first-team All-Americans. #OUDNA #BuiltDifferent https://t.co/O386pMpifm pic.twitter.com/iMe7AzJ09R — Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 11, 2017 Louisville's Lamar Jackson, last year's Heisman winner and All-America quarterback, was selected to the second team.
