Meet the Alabama football players who earned preseason All-America honors from Walter Camp Foundation

The Walter Camp Football Foundation has recognized several University of Alabama football players as preseason All-Americans for the 2025 season, highlighting the Crimson Tide's talent ahead of the new campaign.

First-Team All-America Selections

Ryan Williams, a sophomore wide receiver, secured first-team All-America honors. The Saraland High School product made waves as a freshman in 2024, playing the entire season at just 17 years old. Williams recorded 48 receptions for 865 yards and eight touchdowns. 

His breakout moment came against Georgia, where he turned a spectacular catch into a game-winning touchdown with a series of dazzling moves, cementing his status as a rising star in college football.

Kadyn Proctor, a junior offensive tackle, also earned first-team recognition. The Iowa native has been a cornerstone at left tackle for Alabama over the past two seasons. 

Following Nick Saban’s retirement in January 2024, Proctor briefly transferred to Iowa but returned to Tuscaloosa to reclaim his starting role before his sophomore year. In 2024, he was named second-team All-SEC, and in 2023, he earned a spot on the SEC All-Freshman Team.

Second-Team All-America Selection

Tim Keenan, a senior defensive lineman from Birmingham, was named to the Walter Camp second-team All-America squad. In 2024, Keenan started 12 of Alabama’s 13 games, amassing 40 tackles, including 7.5 for loss and 2.5 sacks. His contributions on the defensive line have been vital as he enters his final season with the Crimson Tide.

Walter Camp Foundation All-American Team Nominations

The Walter Camp Football Foundation, one of the most prestigious organizations in college football, annually selects All-America teams based on player performance and potential. The foundation’s preseason All-America teams, established in 1889, are among the oldest and most respected in the sport. 

Alabama’s three honorees—Williams, Proctor, and Keenan—reflect the program’s continued excellence. The final All-America teams will be announced at the end of the 2025 season, with potential for additional Alabama players to earn recognition based on their on-field performance.

Looking Ahead for Alabama

Under head coach Kalen DeBoer, now in his second year, Alabama will kick off preseason camp in early August 2025. The Crimson Tide will open the season with a high-profile road game against Florida State in Tallahassee, setting the stage for another competitive year in the SEC.
