Unless otherwise noted, All-America teams listed above are Division III and were sponsored by Pizza Hut (1983-89), Champion U.S.A. (1990-93), Sports Information Directors (1982 and 1994) or Hewlett Packard (1995-2002). Football Gazette selected All-Americans from 1986-2006 and D3football.com began selecting All-Americans in 1999 (in 2012 only, they named a 4th team instead of honorable mention). Cortland has had nine American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) All-Americans. In addition to the eight listed above, receiver Rod Verkey earned AFCA All-America honors in 1967.
