The NCAA officially recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN, and the WCFF to determine Consensus and Unanimous All-Americans.

Twenty-two players were recognized as consensus All-Americans for 2007, eight of them unanimously. Unanimous selections are followed by an asterisk (*)
