Black college All-Americans

During the 1940s, African-Americans were excluded from many college football programs and played the game at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The major All-America selectors in these years did not include players from HBCUs. However, The Pittsburgh Courier each year selected its own All-America team from players at the HBCUS. The players chosen for 1946 were:

  • Clarence Harkings, Langston, end
  • Talmadge Owen, Clark, end
  • James Moore, Wilberforce, tackle
  • Wilfred Rawl, West Virginia State, tackle
  • Richard Bolton, Clark, guard
  • Willie Moses, Wiley, guard
  • Isaiah Wilson, West Virginia State, center
  • Leroy Cromartie, Florida A&M, back
  • Bill Bass, Tennessee A&I, back
  • Shelly Ross, Wiley, back
  • Bernard Ingraham, Florida A&M, back
