All-Americans
Currently, the NCAA compiles consensus all-America teams in the sports of Division I-FBS football and Division I men's basketball using a point system computed from All-America teams named by coaches associations or media sources. The system consists of three points for a first-team honor, two points for second-team honor, and one point for third-team honor. Honorable mention and fourth team or lower recognitions are not accorded any points. College Football All-American consensus teams are compiled by position and the player accumulating the most points at each position is named first team consensus all-American. Currently, the NCAA recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN, and the WCFF to determine Consensus and Unanimous All-Americans. Any player named to the First Team by all five of the NCAA-recognized selectors is deemed a Unanimous All-American.[60][61]

The 2025 Texas A&M–South Carolina football sideline incident was an altercation during a college football game on November 15, 2025, at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, involving members of the University of South Carolina football team and a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) trooper. The episode drew widespread media attention after broadcast footage circulated online and led to legal actions weeks after the game.
Background
The incident occurred during a conference matchup between the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Texas A&M Aggies. South Carolina, as the heavy underdog, was already leading by an astonishing scoreline of 20–3; if that lead had held, a loss would have seriously damaged the hopes of the as-yet-undefeated Aggies in their quest to make their first-ever College Football Playoff.
Instead of the highly favored Aggies drawing the game closer, South Carolina unexpectedly scored an 80-yard touchdown in the second quarter to extend their lead to 23 points, with wide receiver Nyck Harbor hauling in the long pass—and limping into the locker room tunnel after the score. Several South Carolina players followed him in celebration, and then the group headed back toward the field.[63]
Incident
As Harbor and teammates, including running back Oscar Adaway III, approached the end zone and were walking back toward the field through a northeast tunnel at Kyle Field, a Texas DPS trooper was seen walking in the opposite direction and made contact with the players. Video from the game shows the trooper bumping into Harbor and Adaway, then turning toward them while pointing and appearing to speak or scold the players before they returned to the field.
The interaction was captured live during the ESPN broadcast of the game and quickly went viral, drawing reactions from sports fans and commentators online. Notable figures, including NBA star LeBron James and NFL pro Benjamin Watson, publicly criticized the trooper's conduct on social media.[64]
In response, the Texas A&M University Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety announced that the trooper involved was relieved of his game-day duties and sent home from the event, and that the DPS Office of Inspector General would review the interaction.
Following the interaction, the Gamecocks began to spiral; the heavily favored Aggies began to rally in the third quarter and ultimately defeated South Carolina to preserve their undefeated season. Texas A&M finished the regular season at 11–1, easily enough to earn a playoff spot; South Carolina finished two wins away from bowl eligibility at 4–8.
Aftermath
The incident received sustained media coverage in the days and weeks following the game, especially as video circulated widely on social media and news outlets. Critics argued the trooper's actions were inappropriate and unnecessary, while some commentators debated the presence and role of law enforcement at sporting events.[65]
On December 12, 2025, Oscar Adaway III filed a criminal complaint against the trooper in Brazos County, accusing him of assault during the November game, and seeking accountability and an apology. His complaint cited emotional distress and sleep difficulties following the encounter. Legal experts discussed the potential for third-degree assault charges in connection with the case, and the complaint highlighted frustrations over the trooper's identity not being publicly disclosed.[66][67]
Some declined to defend the police officer, such as Brazos County First Assistant District Attorney, Shane Phelps, who said, "I'm pretty pro law enforcement, but there are police officers who do stupid things, and this was a really stupid thing to do in front of 110,000 people."[68] Others took the officer's side, such as former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, who said, "Around here in these parts, partner, we protect this house. We paid a lot of money for this house. Get out of my tunnel, boy. Get back on the field."[69] The complaint was ultimately dismissed by Brazos County officials; the officer was never charged and his name was never released.[70]
The Texas DPS reiterated after the game that it was investigating the matter through its internal oversight office, and Texas A&M Police confirmed that the trooper would not work future home games while the review continued.
