The All-Southern eleven compiled by the Associated Press included:

  • David Ariail, end for Auburn. One source writes "Other than Jimmy Hitchcock, back, and "Gump" Arial, end, Auburn has no outstanding players."[1] He was selected All-American by the "captain's poll," selected by the captains of major college football programs.[2][3]
  • Johnny Cain, fullback for Alabama, All-American and later a coach. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1973.
  • Fred Crawford, tackle for Duke. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1973.
  • Beattie Feathers, halfback for Tennessee, inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1955.
  • Pete Gracey, center for Vanderbilt, consensus first-team All-American.
  • Jimmy Hitchcock, halfback for Auburn, consensus first-team All-American. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954.

  • Virgil Rayburn, end for Tennessee, later played in the NFL for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
  • John Scafide, guard for Tulane
  • Don Zimmerman, halfback for Tulane, consensus first-team All-American. "Zimmerman is probably the finest open field runner the South has seen in the past decade" wrote Henry McLemore announcing the United Press All-America team.[4] On the season, Zimmerman posted then-school records with 1,885 yards total offense and a 5.5-yard rushing average.[4] The latter mark still ranks second.[5] He ended his Tulane career as the Green Wave's all-time leader in total offense (4,657 yards on 764 plays, an average of 6.1 yards per play) and pass interceptions (12), setting records that lasted for 40 years.[6] He also ranks fifth in career rushing yards with 2,369.[5] Zimmerman is a member of the Tulane Athletics Hall of Fame and was elected to the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 1975.[7]
