The 1917 All-America college football team consists of American football players selected to the All-America college football teams selected by various organizations in 1917. The selections were affected by the First World War. The Walter Camp Football Foundation lists no team in 1917. [1] Camp posted an All-Service team in Collier's Weekly , and other organizations posted All-American teams. Walter Eckersall accidentally picked two players from Tech High School in an attempt to give credence to the first consensus national champion from the south, Georgia Tech. [2] Walker Carpenter and Everett Strupper were the first two players from the Deep South ever selected All-American. [3]
