The 2025 American Athletic All-Conference Team is led by 15 selections from Tulane, with North Texas, South Florida, Navy, and UTSA headlining the next tier of teams with the most picks on the all-conference squad.
With the release of the Athlon Sports 2025 College Football Preview Magazine, it’s time to take a look at the best of the best and honor the top players in the league with a release of first, second, third and fourth all-conference teams for '25.
An important note on the all-conference teams: These are based on how players will perform in 2025. Career statistics and awards matter in the evaluation, but choosing players for the 2025 all-conference team is largely based on predicting and projecting the best for the upcoming year. Also, team strength does not play a role in selections. These are the best individual players at each position in the league for '25.
