Six University of Alabama and two Auburn University football players were selected to the American Football Coaches Association’s (AFCA) FBS Coaches’ All-America teams, as announced by the association on Wednesday.

The Crimson Tide had the nation’s most players on the teams, and the SEC, with 19 total players, had the most of any conference.

For Nick Saban’s Bama squad, wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood were named to the first team. Defensive lineman Raekwon Davis, cornerback Trevon Diggs, safety Xavier McKinney and offensive lineman Jedrick Wills, Jr. were second-team selections.

Gus Malzahn’s Tigers saw defensive lineman Derrick Brown make the first team, while defensive lineman Marlon Davidson was honored on the second team.

Historically, the University of Alabama has been represented on the AFCA FBS Coaches’ All-America teams the most: 88 times by 82 players since 1945. They are followed by Oklahoma (72/63); Ohio State (72/56); Notre Dame (64/57); Michigan (61/55); USC (59/52); Nebraska (51/46); Texas (51/45); LSU (44/39); Georgia (42/36); Florida State (41/37); Auburn (36/34); Penn State (36/34); UCLA (36/34); Clemson (36/33); Miami (Fla.) (34/33) and Tennessee (32/30).

Jeudy was the only player from the Yellowhammer State who also made one of the AFCA teams last year.
