The 1992 College Football All-America team is composed of college football players who were selected as All-Americans by various organizations and publications that chose College Football All-America Teams in 1992. It is an honor given annually to the best American college football players at their respective positions.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) recognizes five selectors as "official" for the 1992 season.[1] They are: (1) the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA);[2] (2) the Associated Press (AP);[3] (3) the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA);[4] (4) the United Press International (UPI); and (5) the Walter Camp Football Foundation (WCFF).[5] Other notable selectors included Football News, Gannett News Service (GNS),[6] Scripps Howard (SH), The Sporting News (TSN),[7] and The World Almanac (WA) in conjunction with the Newspaper Enterprise Association.[8]
Nine players were selected unanimously by all five official selectors. They are: quarterback Gino Torretta of Miami (FL), running backs Marshall Faulk of San Diego State and Garrison Hearst of Georgia, tight end Chris Gedney of Syracuse, tackle Lincoln Kennedy of Washington, guard Will Shields of Nebraska, linebackers Marcus Buckley of Texas A&M and Marvin Jones of Florida State, and defensive back Carlton McDonald of Air Force.[1] Gino Torretta also won the 1992 Heisman Trophy.
