Following the death of Walter Camp in 1925, there was a proliferation of All-American teams in the late 1920s. In 1929, there were at least a dozen published All-American teams that received extensive coverage in the press. Only one player, Notre Dame quarterback Frank Carideo was selected as a first-team All-American on all 12 teams. Pittsburgh end Joe Donchess was selected on 11 of the teams. The following chart identifies the players who were listed as first-team All-Americans on at least four of the 12 listed teams.
