All-Americans Ever since quarterback Gus Dorais became Notre Dame’s initial firstteam All-America pick in 1913, Irish players have been honored as firstteam All-America selections on 188 occasions. Recognition of at least one All-America second team has been received by Notre Dame players on 77 other occasions. The NCAA recognizes members of a consensus All-America team each season — with 97 of those selections having worn a Notre Dame uniform. Notre Dame has had 81 different players earn the consensus designation, more than any other school. Notre Dame has produced at least one consensus All-American in 30 of the last 45 seasons. In fact, over one period Notre Dame had a consensus selection in 17 straight years - including all 11 years under Ara Parseghian and all six under Dan Devine - from 1964 through 1981. The NCAA also recognizes first-team All-Americans chosen on a unanimous basis. Notre Dame has had 32 unanimous choices, more than any other university. 1903 C Louis Salmon, FB 3 1909 C Harry Miller, HB 3 1913 M INS C Gus Dorais, QB 1 1 Ray Eichenlaub, FB 2 Knute Rockne, E 3 1916 M INS C Stan Cofall, HB 1 1 Charlie Bachman, G 2 1917 NEA INS C Frank Rydzewski, C 1 1 2 1920 M NEA INS C George Gipp, HB 1 1 1 1 Roger Kiley, E 1 1921 NEA INS C FBW Roger Kiley, E 1 1 2 2 Eddie Anderson, E 2 1 Hunk Anderson, G 1 1 Johnny Mohardt, HB 2 Paul Castner, HB 2 Buck Shaw, T 2 1922 INS C Ed DeGree, G 1 Paul Castner, FB 3 1923 INS C Don Miller, HB 1 Elmer Layden, FB 2 Harvey Brown, G 2 1924 LIB NEA INS C AA FBW Harry Stuhldreher, QB 1 1 1 1 1 Jim Crowley, HB 1 1 2 1 1 Elmer Layden, FB 1 1 1 Adam Walsh, C 2 2 3 1926 AP UP NEA INS COL AA Art Boeringer, C 1 2 1 1 1 1 Christie Flanagan, HB 2 1927 AP UP NEA INS COL AA NA Christie Flanagan, HB 1 1 John Smith, G 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 John Polisky, T 2 1928 INS Fred Miller, T 1 1929 AP UP NEA INS COL AA NA †Frank Carideo, QB 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Jack Cannon, G 1 1 1 1 1 1 Ted Twomey, T 2 2 1930 AP UP NEA INS COL AA NA †Frank Carideo, QB 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Marchy Schwartz, HB 1 1 1 1 1 Marty Brill, HB 2 1 2 Joe Savoldi, FB 2 Bert Metzger, G 1 1 2 Tom Conley, E 2 2 2 Al Culver, T 2
