1952 Little All-America college football team

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1952 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 1952, the AP followed the precedent established in 1951 by selecting three separate groups: a first team consisting of separate offensive and defensive platoons, and a second team consisting of 11 players.[1]
