DALLAS -- Top-ranked Oklahoma dominated the 2003 Football Writers Association of America All-America team announced Tuesday with an unprecedented six players on the 25-man team

The FWAA All-America team is the second oldest continuously published team in college football. And this is the most players by one school on the team since the FWAA started selecting an All-America squad in 1944. During the modern era of college football, Miami had four players on the 2000 FWAA team.

Oklahoma quarterback Jason White and wide receiver Mark Clayton were selected on the offensive team. Cornerback Derrick Strait, tackle Tommie Harris and linebacker Teddy Lehman made the defensive team. OU's Antonio Perkins, a punt returner, cracked the special teams list.

Players from four schools -- Oklahoma, Southern California, Virginia Tech and Miami -- accounted for 13 spots, more than half the team.

Southern California landed three players on the team -- wide receiver Mike Williams, offensive lineman Jacob Rogers and defensive end Kenechi Udeze.

Miami and Virginia Tech had two each on the squad. Tight end Kellen Winslow and defensive back Sean Taylor of Miami made the team. The Hokies' center Jake Grove and running back Kevin Jones were selected.
