1953 Little All-America college football team

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1953 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 1953, the AP abandoned the precedent set in 1951 and 1952 of selecting separate offensive and defensive platoons. Instead, the AP returned to the older tradition of selecting 11 players each on first, second, and third teams.[1]
