The 1960 Little All-America college football team is composed of college football players from small colleges and universities who were selected by the Associated Press (AP) as the best players at each position. For 1960, the AP selected three teams of 11 players each, with no separate defensive platoons.[1]
Halfback Dale Mills of Kirksville State rushed for 1,343 and concluded his college career with 4,502 rushing yards and over 400 points scored.[2]
Charles Fuller of San Francisco State rushed for 892 yards (7.2 yards per carry) and scored 104 points.[2]
Bill Cooper of Muskungum rushed for 1,102 yards, 23 touchdowns, and scored 152 points. His coach, Ed Sherman, called him "the greatest player I've ever coached or seen in the Ohio Conference."[2]
Bucknell quarterback Paul Terhes passed for 981 yards and nine touchdowns.[2]
End John Simko of Augustana (South Dakota) broke a North Central Conference record with 53 receptions. He was the first Augustana player to receive first-team Little All-America honors.[2]
Center Dick Grecni anchored the line for an undefeated Ohio team that outscored opponents, 269 to 34, and was recognized by both the AP and UPI as the small college champion.[2]
