  • 2025 SIS College Football All-American Team

    2025 SIS College Football All-American Team

    It’s time once again to announce our SIS College Football All-American Team. We used our all-encompassing player value stat, Total Points, along with other metrics and our scouting work as leading references in putting together our selections.

    A brief explanation of Total Points:

    Total Points takes nearly everything that SIS measures about a play and uses it to evaluate each player on a scale that allows you to compare them more easily. It’s always useful to be able to understand the different ways in which players can be valuable. Does he break a lot of tackles? Does he get a lot of yards after the catch? Does he make the best out of a poor offensive line? Does he get more pressures than expected? Does he break up a lot of passes? Total Points offers the opportunity to take all of those elements and get a quick picture of how well a player is performing overall.

    You can learn more about Total Points and the statistics referenced within this piece here.

    Here are our selections:

    1st Team Offense

    Position Name School
    QB Diego Pavia Vanderbilt
    RB Jeremiyah Love Notre Dame
    RB Antwan Raymond Rutgers
    WR Malachi Toney Miami-FL
    WR Chris Brazzell II Tennessee
    TE Eli Stowers Vanderbilt
    T Spencer Fano Utah
    T Francis Mauigoa Miami-FL
    G Keylan Rutledge Georgia Tech
    G Tanoa Togiai Utah
    C Logan Jones Iowa

    Heisman Finalist, Diego Pavia headlines our All-American Team as he ranked first among all QBs in Total Points with 142. He also led all QBs in Total Points per Snap and was top-3 in Passing Total Points. He is joined by his long time teammate, Eli Stowers, who led all tight ends in Receiving Total Points. 

    Rutgers RB Antwan Raymond earned 78 Total Points, which led the position and also holds a 34% Broken/Missed Tackle Rate, which led all RBs (minimum 150 carries). Jeremiyah Love, another Heisman Finalist, makes our First Team after earning 64 Total Points, which ranked top-5 among all RBs. 

    Miami-FL wide receiver Malachi Toney is the lone true freshman to make the SIS All-American First Team. He led the position with 45 Total Points, and he is electric with the ball in his hands, ranking in the top-5 in YAC and Broken/Missed Tackle Rate per Reception. He is joined by Tennessee’s Chris Brazzell II, who led the SEC in Receiving Total Points. 

    Utah’s Spencer Fano and Tanoa Togiai headline the First Team offensive line as they led all players in Power-4 conferences in Total Points for their positions. Miami-FL tackle Francis Mauigoa ranked first in Pass Blocking Total Points for his position, and also had a 1.0% Blown Block Rate, third among all tackles (minimum 500 snaps) with Spencer Fano occupying second at a 0.9% Blown Block Rate. 

    Georgia Tech’s Keylan Rutledge led all guards in the ACC in Total Points and finished in the top-10 among FBS guards with a 0.8% Blown Block Rate. Meanwhile, Iowa’s Logan Jones rounds out the offensive line with 37 Total Points, which ranked first among all centers. 

    1st Team Defense

    Position Name School
    DT Kayden McDonald Ohio State
    DT Tyler Onyedim Texas A&M
    EDGE Caden Curry Ohio State
    EDGE David Bailey Texas Tech
    LB Mac Harris South Florida
    LB Rasheem Biles Pittsburgh
    LB Jacob Rodriguez Texas Tech
    CB Chris Johnson San Diego State
    CB Mansoor Delane LSU
    S Caleb Downs Ohio State
    S AJ Haulcy LSU

    Kayden McDonald and Caden Curry dominated the line of scrimmage for the No. 1 defense in the FBS this year and both were first among FBS DTs and DEs respectively in Total Points, Total Points per Snap, Total Points Above Average, and Total Points per Snap Above Average. Tyler Onyedim was right behind McDonald at second in all four categories and was a menace against the run. David Bailey was relentless against the pass, finishing second in the FBS in both sacks and pressures.

    Mac Harris made his presence felt all over the field, both in base stats; 5+ sacks, TFLs, and turnovers, and advanced stats; 13+ Total Points as a pass rusher, in coverage, and against the run. Rasheem Biles made up one-half of a dynamic LB duo at Pitt and finished with an astounding 43 Total Points above average, which led all FBS defenders. Jacob Rodriguez was one of the easier choices on the team as the do-it-all ‘backer had double-digit TFLs and PBUs, 7 FF, and 4 INTs.

    Chris Johnson caused issues all season for quarterbacks who wanted to test him. He had more PBUs (9 passes defensed + 4 INTs) than completions allowed (12). Mansoor Delane took a massive step after transferring to LSU and also had more PBUs (10 passes defensed + 2 INTs) than completions allowed (9). AJ Haulcy punished QBs who tried to avoid Delane and snagged 3 INTs of his own, not to mention 20+ Run Defense Total Points and Coverage Total Points. The final spot goes to Caleb Downs who truly does it all for Ohio State, allowing just nine completions on the year while also making plays in the backfield.

    1st Team Specialists

    Position Name School
    K Tate Sandell Oklahoma
    P Ryan Eckley Michigan State
    Returner Kaden Wetjen Iowa

    Tate Sandell was 23-of-24 on the season, but it was not just chip shots, as he went 8-of-9 on 40-49 yard kicks and a staggering 7-of-7 on 50+ yarders, not to mention perfect on extra points. Ryan Eckley had a punting average north of 48 yards to go with 20 punts inside the 20, 10 inside the 10, and only 1 touchback.

    One of the most electric players in college football, Kaden Wejen is a nightmare for opponents in the open field. He had a punt return average above 28 with 3 TDs and a kick return average above 30 yards per return with another return TD. He was simply unreal.

    2nd Team Offense

    Position Name School
    QB Brendan Sorsby Cincinnati
    RB Caleb Hawkins North Texas
    RB Kewan Lacy Ole Miss
    WR Jackson Harris Hawaii
    WR Duce Robinson Florida State
    TE Dallen Bentley Utah
    T Caleb Lomu Utah
    T Dorion Strawn Texas State
    G Fernando Carmona Jr. Arkansas
    G Emmanuel Pregnon Oregon
    C Iapani Laloulu Oregon

    The 2nd Team QB was a tough choice, but Brendan Sorsby was a major driver of the Cincinnati offense. He was responsible for over 3,300 offensive yards and 36 TDs coupled with a Top-3 FBS QB rank in both Total Points and Total Points per Snap. True freshman sensation Caleb Hawkins had nearly 1,600 scrimmage yards to go along with 26 TDs, and was second among FBS RBs in Total Points. Kewan Lacy was a major reason Ole Miss made the CFP after his 1,400-yard, 20-TD season.

    Duce Robinson had over 1,000 yards receiving this season, but he also drew 8 defensive pass interference calls, which resulted in another 141 penalty yards, highlighting value not found in the box score. Jackson Harris gained 37% of his yards after the catch while forcing 13 failed tackles (10 missed tackles + 3 broken tackles), which resulted in Harris finishing first among FBS WRs in Receiving Total Points. A versatile player, Dallen Bentley was the only FBS TE this season to earn 15+ Total Points as both a receiver and as a blocker.

    Dorion Strawn and Caleb Lomu bookend the offensive line after both finishing Top-3 among FBS tackles in Total Points with Strawn leading all tackles. Lomu had a 1.4% Blown Block Rate on all plays while Strawn had a 1.0% Blown Block Rate as a run blocker. On the interior, Fernando Carmona Jr., Emmanuel Pregnon, and Iapani Laloulu all were extremely reliable this season. Laloulu led the Oregon OL with a miniscule 0.6% Blown Block Rate, and his teammate Pregnon was not far behind at 1.0%. Carmona Jr. excelled as a pass blocker where he had a Blown Block rate of just 1.1%.

    2nd Team Defense

    Position Name School
    DT Bear Alexander Oregon
    DT AJ Holmes Jr. Texas Tech
    EDGE John Henry Daley Utah
    EDGE Zion Young Missouri

    LB Harold Perkins Jr. LSU
    CB Colton Hood Tennessee
    CB Leonard Moore Notre Dame
    CB Keith Abney II Arizona State
    S Jerome Carter Old Dominion
    S Robert Fitzgerald Northwestern

    Oregon’s Bear Alexander anchors the interior defensive line as one of the best run defenders in the country, ranking 3rd in Run Defense Total Points. Meanwhile, Texas Tech’s AJ Holmes Jr. finished top-5 in Total Points and top-10 in Pass Rush Total Points for defensive tackles.

    Utah’s John Henry Daley was second in Total Points and first in Pass Rush Total Points among all defensive ends. He finished the season with a 19.3% Pressure Rate, which is top-5 for his position (minimum 25 Pressures). Missouri’s Zion Young also ranked in the top-5 for defensive ends for Pass Rush Total Points, which also tops the SEC. 

    UTSA’s Shad Banks Jr. was elite in pass coverage this season, ranking first in Total Points among LBs with 27 Total Points, while also being tied for third nationally with 3 INTs. LSU’s versatile LB Harold Perkins Jr. also finished the season  tied for third nationally with 3 INTs as well as being the SEC leader in Total Points for the position. 

    Notre Dame cornerback Leonard Moore headlines the secondary after finishing the season with 38 Pass Coverage Total Points, which ranks second nationally and grabbing 5 INTs as well. He is joined by Arizona State’s Keith Abney II and Tennessee’s Colton Hood, who each ranked in the top-6 in both Total Points and Pass Coverage Total Points for the position. Neither allowed a TD when targeted as the primary defender this season. 

    Northwestern’s Robert Fitzgerald led all safeties in Total Points with 65 and was an elite run defender on the backend, amassing 43 Run Defense Total Points, which ranked second for the position. He is joined by Old Dominion’s Jerome Carter, who led the G5 safeties in Total Points, with 52. His 36 Pass Defense Total Points places him 6th nationally, helped by 4 INTs this season. 

    2nd Team Specialists

    Position Name School
    K Kansei Matsuzawa Hawaii
    P Angus Davies Tulsa
    Returner Vicari Swain South Carolina

    South Carolina’s Vicari Swain had a punt return average over 15 yards and returned 3 for TDs, establishing himself as one of the most electric playmakers in the country. Hawaii’s Kansei Matsuzawa was fantastic this season finishing 25-of-26 on FG attempts, including 11of-11 over 40 yards, and was perfect on 37 extra point attempts. Tulsa punter Angus Davies led the AAC in Total Points for punters with 14. He held the second longest punt of the season at 80 yards, had a net average over 41 yards, and 21 of his 47 punts landing inside the 20 yard line without a single touchback.

    K Clune Van Andel Arkansas State
    P Alex Smith Georgia Southern
    Returner Robert Williams Louisiana

    Dorion Strawn made our Preseason All-American 1st team after a strong 2024 season that saw him finish 8th among FBS tackles with 39 Total Points. As with many conferences these days, a large amount of the 2024 All-Sun Belt team either graduated or transferred, leading to a balanced conference with 8 teams represented on the offense and 8 teams represented on the defense.

    Nick Del Grande was Top-20 last season among FBS tackles in Total Points Above Average Per Snap, and Jo’Laison Landry could be in for a big season after earning 12 Total Points Above Average last season in far fewer snaps than most of his competition.

    Kentel Bullock has the most Total Points among returning Sun Belt running backs, despite splitting the carries last season, and will look to lead the South Alabama offense this season. Josh Moten had 16 Total Points Above Average last season which is the most among returning Sun Belt defenders and will look to lock down the Southern Miss backend.

    Returner Abraham Williams New Mexico

    The college football world is just one year away from the Pac-12 poaching many of the Mountain West teams to rebuild the once great conference, so that is the reasoning for combining these two conferences to create one preseason All-Conference Team. 

    Maddux Madsen headlines the offensive team after helping lead the Boise State Broncos to the first edition of the 12-Team College Football Playoff. He is joined by his fellow teammates Kage Casey and Matt Lauter. Both Cade Harris and Floyd Chalk IV from Air Force and San Jose State return as two of the most dynamic playmakers in the conference heading into this upcoming season. 

    Defensively, Fresno State’s Al’Zillion Hamilton headlines the defensive team with 56 Total Points from the 2024 season which puts him in the Top 5 of all returning cornerbacks in the nation. San Diego State looks to have a strong defense as they lead the way with 3 players selected in EDGE Trey White, LB Tano Letuli, and CB Chris Johnson.  

    Abraham Williams is looking to make an impact as a returner for New Mexico this season after showing his playmaking ability in the FCS ranks at both Idaho and Weber State.

    Ohio’s Parker Navarro leads the way for the offensive selections and returns to the Bobcats as one of the conference’s most efficient QB’s in 2024. Al-Jay Henderson looks to build upon his impressive 1,000 campaign for Buffalo and is joined by his teammate at WR, Victor Snow. Western Michigan TE Blake Bosma’s 23 Total Points puts him in the top 10 of returning TE’s in the country. The offensive line is bookended by OT’s Evan Malcore and Davion Washington who are both in the top 30 for Total Points Rank among all returning OT’s in the nation. 

    Defensively, Red Murdock returns to Buffalo after racking up 54 Total Points in 2024, which puts him in the top 5 of all returning LB’s in the country. Miami (OH) returns one the best safety duos with Eli Blakey and Silas Walters. Toledo also has a secondary duo of their own with S Braden Awls and CB Avery Smith as well. 

    Miami (OH) specialist Dom Dzioban had an impressive 2024 season after making the transition from punter to field goal kicker, converting on 86% of his attempts last season.

    Returner Kam Thomas UTEP

    Figuring out where to put the Independent teams was a struggle. With only 2 remaining Independent teams, it does not make sense to give them their own team, but it is also tough to take spots away from the true conference teams as well. For the preseason teams, we decided to put Notre Dame and UConn with the C-USA teams as it is a smaller conference and the majority of players from the 2024 All-CUSA have either graduated or transferred out. That being said, there is a strong possibility that Notre Dame and UConn will not be on any All-Conference teams when the postseason teams are announced.

     Jeremiyah Love, Christian Gray, Aamil Wagner, and Adon Shuler all made our Preseason All-American 1st or 2nd team. Notre Dame enters the season as a true title contender and as a result, their players are all over this team. Their offensive skill positions, defensive line, and secondary in particular are major areas of strength.

    James Dawn II and Aaron Fenimore were excellent last year with Dawn II posting a Blown Block Rate of just 0.2% and Fenimore finishing Top-10 in the FBS in Total Points among centers. TyQuan King had 16 Total Points Above Average last season which is the top mark among returning C-USA defenders.

    Army offensive linemen Paolo Gennarelli and Brady Small made our Preseason All-American 1st team. Despite not being a traditional power conference, there are some major playmakers in the American Conference as Brendon Lewis, Eli Heidenreich, and Landon Robinson all were Top-20 in the FBS at their respective positions in Total Points last season.

    Jimarion McCrimon, Blake Boenisch, and Chavez Brown are in line for bigger roles this season after finishing Top-25 in Total Points Above Average Per Snap last season at their respective positions.

    The majority of players from the 2024 All-AAC team have either graduated or transferred, and there is plenty of room for players to earn their spot on our postseason team. The balance of the conference is evident with 6 different schools represented on the offensive side and 9 different schools represented on the defensive side.

    Total Points takes nearly everything that SIS measures about a play and uses it to evaluate each player on a scale that allows you to compare them more easily. It’s always useful to be able to understand the different ways in which players can be valuable. Does he break a lot of tackles? Does he get a lot of yards after the catch? Does he make the best out of a poor offensive line? Does he get more pressures than expected? Does he break up a lot of passes? Total Points offers the opportunity to take all of those elements and get a quick picture of how well a player is performing overall.

    In what may come as a surprise to some, Vanderbilt and Missouri lead the way in Offensive players represented in our All-SEC 1st Team selections. Diego Pavia, Eli Stowers, and Jordan White look to build upon an impressive 2024 campaign, while Ahmad Hardy, Kevin Coleman Jr., and Cayden Green are all new to Missouri, via the transfer portal, heading into the 2025 season. Ryan Williams and Ryan Wingo round out the WR selections after bursting onto the scene as true freshmen, in 2024. Texas A&M’s Trey Zuhn III is joined by Florida Gators teammates Jake Slaughter and Austin Barber to round out the offensive line. 

    Whit Weeks, Colin Simmons, Anthony Hill Jr., and Gracen Halton headline the defense as they were a part of our Preseason All-American teams. Albert Regis, Kedric Faulk and Suntarine Perkins round out a deep defensive line unit that returns to the SEC this season. Georgia’s Daylen Everette is joined by teammate KJ Bolden, who had an impressive freshman season. The rest of the secondary is rounded out by Kentucky’s Jonquis Hardaway and Missouri’s Jalen Catalon. 

    The Specialists are headlined by Peyton Woodring and Tyler White who are 2nd Team Preseason All-American selections. 

    A few players who we think deserve special mention heading into the 2025 season are LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier and Alabama LB Nikhai Hill-Green, who had an impressive 2024 campaign with Colorado. Two players who also were in All-SEC consideration were Tennessee’s Jermond McCoy and Luke Hasz, who both suffered injuries in preparation for the 2025 season.

    Drew Allar, Jonah Coleman, Jeremiah Smith, Elijah Sarratt, Makhi Hughes, Isaiah World, Olaivavega Ioane, Zane Durant, Eric O’Neill, Mikail Kamara, D’Angelo Ponds, Davison Igbinosun, Xavier Scott, Caleb Downs, Kerry Brown, Dominic Zvada, Rhys Dakin, and Kaden Wetjen all made our Preseason All-American 1st or 2nd team in an absolutely LOADED conference. The secondary is especially deep, which left no room for fellow All-American Koi Perich unfortunately.

    In addition to the big names, players like Carter Smith, Justin Evans, Deven Eastern, and Sonny Styles do the little things to help their teams win, which is reflected in their Total Points. Every player on this team is Top-4 among returning Big 10 players at their respective positions.

    In a conference so deep, it is worth giving a special shoutout to Dani Dennis-Sutton, Jalen St. John, and Iapani Laloulu who just missed out on the 1st Team.
