Alabama football placed seven total players on the Sporting News' 2019 preseason All-American team, which was announced Wednesday. The Crimson Tide had two first-team selections and five second-team choices.

Junior wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and junior linebacker Dylan Moses were selected to the first team. Jeudy was named a first-team All-American by Sporting News following the 2018-19 season.

Junior quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, junior offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood, senior defensive end Raekwon Davis, redshirt senior linebacker Anfernee Jennings and junior safety Xavier McKinney were named to the second team.

Clemson led all teams with three first-team selections, but Alabama claimed the most overall players between the first and second teams (seven to Clemson's five). That competition was most notable between quarterbacks Tagovailoa and Trevor Lawrence, who split the first- and second-team honors.

The SEC had the most first-team All-American selections with eight, followed by the Big Ten (7).

Sporting News is one of five national outlets used to determine consensus All-American status,along with the American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press, Football Writers Association of American and Walter Camp Football Foundation.
