Prior to the College Football Award Show via ESPN on Thursday, the Walter Camp Football Foundation announced the Walter Camp All-America Teams.
Named after the “Father of American Football,” Walter Camp, the Walter Camp Foundation was founded in 1967 to perpetuate the ideas of Camp and continue the tradition of selecting annually an All-American Team.
Camp was selected to an All-America team in 1889 and as a former Yale University athlete and football coach, he was credited with developing plays from scrimmage, set plays, the numerical assessment of goals and tries and the restriction of play to eleven men per side.
