1962 Little All-America college football team

The 1962 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 1962, the AP selected three teams of 11 players each, with no separate defensive platoons. ^[1]

Tackle Buck Buchanan of Grambling was the largest player at 6'6" and 272 pounds; he was the No. 1 pick in the 1963 AFL draft. ^[1] Buchanan played 13 seasons for the Kansas City Chiefs and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Quarterback George Bork of Northern Illinois was the only junior. ^[1] He was the first college player to pass for 3,000 yards in a season and was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

End Drew Roberts of Humboldt State and back Joe Iacone of West Chester were the only repeaters on the first team from 1961. ^[1] Iacone rushed for 1,486 yards in 1962.
