The 1924 College Football All-America team wasd composed of college football players who were selected as All-Americans by various organizations and writers that chose College Football All-America Teams in 1924. The six selectors recognized by the NCAA as "official" for the 1924 season are:
(1) Walter Camp, whose selections were published in Collier's Weekly,
(2) Football World magazine (FW),
(3) the All-America Board (AAB),
(4) the International News Service (INS),
(5) Liberty magazine, and
(6) the Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA).
The only unanimous All-American in 1924 was halfback Red Grange of Illinois, known as "The Galloping Ghost" and who in 2008 was named by ESPN as the best college football player of all time. The consensus All-Americans recognized by the NCAA for 1924 also include tackle Ed Weir, who was later named the 19th best athlete in Nebraska history, and three of Notre Dame's legendary Four Horseman (halfback Jim Crowley, quarterback Harry Stuhldreher, and fullback Elmer Layden).
