1996 College Football All-America Team

The 1996 College Football All-America Team is composed of the following All-American Teams: Associated Press,[1] Football Writers Association of America, American Football Coaches Association, Walter Camp Foundation, The Sporting News and Football News.

The College Football All-America Team is an honor given annually to the best American college football players at their respective positions. 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.
