| Tennessee has had a total of 65 individual All-America selections, who have been recognized a total of 80 times. Tennessee has had one three-time All-America selection, guard Bob Suffridge, chosen in 1938, 1939 and 1940. Twelve other Vols have earned All-America honors twice during their careers. Twenty-eight Vols have earned consensus NCAA All-America honors. The most honorees in one year were four, in 1939 and 1966. The most consecutive All-America selections totaled 11 years from 1963-1973, a total of 25 selections. Tennessee has had one father-son combination All-America selection in Steve DeLong (1963-1964) and son Keith DeLong (1988).
