Alabama, the No. 2 team in the Rivals.com preseason rankings, leads the way on our All-America team with six selections. No other school has more than four preseason All-Americans.
The safety tandem of Mark Barron and Robert Lester represented Alabama on the first team. Linebacker Dont'a Hightower, guard Barrett Jones and running back Trent Richardson made the second team. Linebacker Courtney Upshaw was named to the third team.
