AP preseason All-America list establishes Ducks as West's most dominant team

Five players from the West made the AP preseason All-America Team, and three of them are Ducks.

Transfer safety Dillon Thieneman is a First Team All-American, while edge rusher Matayo Uiagalelei and running back Makhi Hughes made the Second Team.

Only rarely has Oregon had multiple preseason All-America selections. In 2024 Dillon Gabriel, Tez Johnson, and Ajani Cornelius were all named to the Second Team. In 2020, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Penei Sewell both made First Team All-American, but Sewell subsequently opted out of the Covid year season.

Nationally, Penn State and Texas dominate this year's squad.
