At the end of the season the team was named as the year's champion by The New York Times.[2] Princeton was later retroactively named as the national champion by the Billingsley Report, Helms Athletic Foundation, Houlgate System, and Parke H. Davis, and as a co-national champion (with Penn State) by the National Championship Foundation.[3]

Three Princeton players were selected as consensus first-team players on the 1911 All-America team: end Sanford White; guard Joseph Duff; and tackle Ed Hart.[4] Other notable players included halfback Talbot Pendleton, fullback Wallace DeWitt, and center Arthur Bluethenthal.
