NEW YORK -- A tackle-machine linebacker, a tackle-busting running back and one of the most disruptive defensive tackles in the country made return appearances on The Associated Press All-America team. Joe Fulks Jersey . Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley, Arizona running back KaDeem Carey and Arizona State defensive tackle Will Sutton were selected to the first team for the second straight season. The All-America teams were released Tuesday and selected by a panel of AP college football poll voters. Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston from Florida State added All-American to his resume after a spectacular redshirt freshman season. Heisman finalists Andre Williams from Boston College and Northern Illinois Jordan Lynch also made the first team. Williams joins Carey in the backfield and Lynch, the dual-threat quarterback, was chosen as an all-purpose player. Carey, a junior, is second in the nation in rushing after leading last year, but said he thinks hes a better player now. "I worked hard to improve my speed and strength in the off-season while keeping my speed," Carey said. "I put on 10 pounds of weight and I think thats helped my durability. I also wanted to be a better blocker away from the ball. Blocking for our quarterback and our receivers is key to our system and its important that I do my part even when Im not carrying the ball." Carey and Williams are set to compete on the same field this bowl season when Arizona and Boston College meet in the Advocare V100 Bowl in Shreveport, La., on Dec. 31. It will mark the first time since the 1977 Rose Bowl that two players selected first-team AP All-America at running back then faced off in a bowl.

Sutton, a senior, was named Pac-12 defensive player of the year for the season straight season. Winston, a landslide Heisman winner last week, is joined on the first team by three Florida State teammates -- centre Bryan Stork, kicker Roberto Aguayo and cornerback Lamarcus Joyner -- to give the top-ranked Seminoles more than any other school. Florida State defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan made the second team, along with offensive tackle Cameron Erving. The Seminoles had six players on the three teams, the most of any school. No. 2 Auburn, which plays Florida State on Jan. 6 in the BCS championship game in Pasadena, Calif., placed Heisman finalists Tre Mason on the second team at running back and offensive lineman Reese Dismukes and Gregory Robinson on the third team. Texas A&M Heisman finalist Johnny Manziel, last years Heisman winner and All-American quarterback, made the second team. Alabamas AJ McCarron, another Heisman finalist, is the third-team quarterback for the second consecutive season. The first-team receivers are Oregon States Brandin Cooks, who leads the nation in yards receiving (139.2 per game), and Texas A&Ms Mike Evans, who is averaging 20.3 yards a catch. Texas Techs Jace Amaro is the first-team tight end. The senior leads all tight ends in catches (98) and yards (1,240). Joining Stork on the offensive line are Texas A&M tackle Jake Matthews and Alabama tackle Cyrus Kouandjio, as well as Baylor guard Cyril Richardson and Stanford guard David Yankey. Richardson and Yankey were second-team All-Americans last season. Mosley and Sutton are on the first-team defence with Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who won the Nagurski and Bednarik awards as the nations best defensive player and the Outland and Lombardi as the countrys best lineman. Missouris Michael Sam, the Southeastern Conference defensive player of the year, and Jackson Jeffcoat, the Big 12 defensive player of the year, are the defensive ends. UCLAs Anthony Barr and Ohio States Ryan Shazier round out the linebackers. Michigan States Darqueze Dennard, one of the leaders of the nations top-ranked defence, is the other cornerback with Joyner.
