All-Americans
The All American Team is made up of the nation's best collegiate rugby players who are picked annually, primarily on the basis of performance at the Collegiate All Star Championships, but with consideration also given to form throughout the preceding collegiate season. The All American Team has long been a precursor to international honors, with many All Americans graduating to the USA National Team.
Over the years, many UTRFC club members have participated in union and territorial all-star teams. A select few players have advanced to the USA All-American team.
