With the 2017 college football season in the books, it's time for College Football Focus to unveil the best players of the season, the All-America teams. This was no easy task, with position groupings especially deep at running back (no Kerryon Johnson, Josh Adams, Nick Chubb, Saquon Barkley), defensive line (Austin Bryant, Rashan Gary, Nick Bosa, among others) and receiver (Steve Ishmael, David Sills, Calvin Ridley). There are some very good players left off, but you have to stop someplace, right?
Following the All-America teams is our list of the best freshmen in America. Some are true freshman, some redshirt, but all are in their first year of action.These are names you will be hearing for seasons to come.
