Since 1898, 145 Michigan Wolverines football players have earned first-team All-American honors recognized by the NCAA[a] (including 76 consensus All-Americans on 89 separate selections).[1][2]

There are two players who have earned the distinction three times: Bennie Oosterbaan (1925–1927) and Anthony Carter (1980–1982).

There are twenty-four others who have earned the distinction twice: Willie Heston, Albert Benbrook, Benny Friedman, Chuck Bernard, Ted Petoskey, Tom Harmon, Alvin Wistert, Robert Wahl, Ron Kramer, Bill Yearby, Dave Brown, Mark Donahue, Jumbo Elliott, Mark Messner, Tripp Welborne, Greg Skrepenak, Charles Woodson, Steve Hutchinson, Marlin Jackson, Jake Long, Taylor Lewan, Jake Butt, Jourdan Lewis, and Blake Corum.[3]

Twenty-seven Michigan players have been unanimous All-American selections: Bennie Oosterbaan, Harry Newman, Chuck Bernard, Ralph Heikkinen, Tom Harmon, Bill Daley, Bob Chappuis, Ron Kramer, Jack Clancy, Jim Mandich, Mike Taylor, Dave Brown, Mark Donahue, Anthony Carter, Mark Messner, Tripp Welborne, Desmond Howard, Greg Skrepenak, Charles Woodson, Steve Hutchinson, Braylon Edwards, Jake Long, Jabrill Peppers, Aidan Hutchinson, Blake Corum, Zak Zinter, and Mason Graham.[4]

Two players have been selected as unanimous All-Americans twice: Anthony Carter and Tripp Welborne (two of eleven players in Big Ten Conference history).[5]

William Cunningham was the first All-American in 1898, based on a performance that led Louis Elbel to write "The Victors". Neil Snow was the second in 1901, based on his role on the 1901 team that outscored its opponents 550–0.[6] Willie Heston was the first Michigan All-American selected by Walter Camp in 1903.[7] Since then the Wolverines have had 85 players selected by the Walter Camp Football Foundation; the most storied of any collegiate program.[8]
