The original usage of the term All-America seems to have been to such a list selected by football pioneer Walter Camp in the 1890s. The NCAA officially recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN, and the WCFF to determine Consensus All-Americans.

Eighteen players were recognized as consensus All-Americans for 2003, 12 of them unanimously. Unanimous selections are followed by an asterisk (*)
