Florida football stars Tim Tebow and Jack Youngblood were named to the Football Writers Association of America's 75th anniversary All-America teams released Thursday.

Tebow, who won two national titles and a Heisman Trophy while playing for the Gators from 2006 through 2009, was chosen as the second-team quarterback. Youngblood, who is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and played for the Gators from 1968 through 1970, was chosen as a third-team defensive end.

The FWAA All-America teams are made to honor the best players ever in the history of college football.
