No. 2 Oklahoma leads with 3 1st-team AP All-Americans

    NCAAF -  

    No. 2 Oklahoma will bring three All-Americans to the College Football Playoff.

    Quarterback Baker Mayfield, offensive tackle Orlando Brown and tight end Mark Andrews of Oklahoma were selected to The Associated Press All-America team, giving the Sooners more players on the first team than any school. The All-America team, selected by a panel of 17 Top 25 voters, was released Monday.

    Four of the top five vote-getters for the Heisman Trophy made the first team, including the runaway winner Mayfield. Stanford's Bryce Love, the Heisman runner-up, and San Diego State's Rashaad Penny, the nation's leading rusher and fifth-place finisher for the Heisman, were the first-team running backs. Penn State's Saquon Barkley, who finished fourth in the Heisman voting, made the team as an all-purpose player.

    Louisville's Lamar Jackson, last year's Heisman winner and All-America quarterback, was selected to the second team.
