2021 NFL Draft Diamonds Small School Preseason All-America Team

NFL Draft Diamonds Preseason All-America Team is a lot different than other sites and rightfully so. We considered FCS, Division 2, Division 3, and NAIA players for our list.

With COVID-19 putting a damper on football last year, some of these players will be returning for the first time in a long time. With a shortened Spring season for some schools, we wanted to list the players we are high on. There are many players that can go on a list, but this list was compiled by watching film. This is the first year we released an All-America Team and we will continue to do so.

Some of the top selections are Jerry Rice Award Winner Cam Ward, Walter Payton Award Winner Cole Kelley, and Buck Buchanan Award Winner Jordan Lewis. You can check out our Small School Watch List that has over 1000 prospects on it. As you can see below, we have interviewed almost every single player on the list. Big ups to our team at Draft Diamonds for their hard-work.
