NEW HAVEN, CONN. (theACC.com) - The Walter Camp Football Foundation, an all-volunteer organization and caretaker of the nation’s oldest college football All-America team, announced its 2021 Preseason All-American teams, which includes seven players from the ACC.

First-team selections were Clemson defensive lineman Bryan Breese and wide receiver Justyn Ross, North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell, and Miami punter Lou Hedley.

Earning second-team distinction are Clemson offensive lineman Jordan McFadden, Clemson defensive lineman Myles Murphy and Pitt defensive lineman Calijah Kancey.

Walter Camp, considered the “Father of American Football,” first named an All-American team in 1889. The 2021 season will be the 132nd edition of the team.

In late November, the 2021 All-America teams will be selected by the head coaches and sports information directors of the 130 Football Bowl Subdivision schools and will be certified by Marcum’s New Haven-based accounting firm.

Walter Camp, “The Father of American football,” first selected an All-America team in 1889. Camp – a former Yale University athlete and football coach – is also credited with developing play from scrimmage, set plays, the numerical assessment of goals and tries and the restriction of play to eleven men per side. The Walter Camp Football Foundation – a New Haven-based all3 volunteer group – was founded in 1967 to perpetuate the ideals of Camp and to continue the tradition of selecting annually an All-America team. The Foundation is a member of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA). The NCFAA was founded in 1997 as a coalition of the major collegiate football awards to protect, preserve and enhance the integrity, influence and prestige of the game’s predominant awards. The NCFAA encourages professionalism and the highest standards for the administration of its member awards and the selection of their candidates and recipients.
