1968 Little All-America college football team

The 1968 Little All-America college football team is composed of college football players from small colleges and universities who were selected by the Associated Press (AP) as the best players at each position. For 1968, the AP selected two teams, each team having separate offensive and defensive platoons.^[1]

Two players were included on the first team for the third consecutive year: running back Carl Garrett of New Mexico Highlands and split end Dwayne Nix of Texas A&I. Garret was the AFL Rookie of the Year in 1969.

Quarterback Sonny Wade of Emory & Henry won first-team honors and went on to play 10 seasons in the Canadian Football League (CFL), winning three Grey Cup championships for the Montreal Alouettes in 1970, 1974, and 1977.
