The Oregon Ducks college football team competes as part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), and represents the University of Oregon in the North Division of the Pac-12 Conference (Pac-12). All-America selections are individual player recognitions made after each season when numerous publications release lists of their ideal team. The NCAA recognizes five All-America lists: the Associated Press (AP), American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), Sporting News (SN), and the Walter Camp Football Foundation (WCFF).[1] In order for an honoree to earn a "consensus" selection, he must be selected as first team in three of the five lists recognized by the NCAA, and "unanimous" selections must be selected as first team in all five lists.[1]
Since the establishment of the team in 1894, Oregon has had 40 players honored a total of 58 times as First Team All-America for their performance on the field of play.[2] Included in these selections are 11 consensus selections, 5 of which were Unanimous All-American selections earned by LaMichael James in 2010, Marcus Mariota in the 2014 season in which he won the Heisman Trophy, Penei Sewell in 2019, Kayvon Thibodeaux in 2021 and Jackson Powers-Johnson in 2023.
