IOWA CITY — Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum earned a spot on the Associated Press All-America first team, and cornerback Riley Moss and kicker Caleb Shudak were on the third team.

Linderbaum also received All-America honors from the Walter Camp Foundation and the Football Writers Association of America. He received the Rimington Trophy, which goes to the best center in college football, last week.

Moss, the fifth Iowa defensive back to earn the Tatum-Woodson Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year award in the last 10 years, had second-team All-American honors from the FWAA.

Shudak, who converted on 23-of-27 field goal attempts in 2021, also was a second-team AP all-Big Ten honoree.

Iowa State running back Breece Hall repeated as a first-team AP All-American, and Iowa State defensive end Will McDonald IV received third-team recognition.

Sporting News and the American Football Coaches Association are yet to announce their All-America teams.
