Notre Dame football has a representative on each side of the ball on the 2015 Walter Camp All-America team.

On offense, Ronnie Stanley was recognized for another outstanding season blocking for the Fighting Irish, who averaged 34.8 points and 471.5 yards per game this season.

Jaylon Smith, who earlier this week won the Butkus Award as the nation's best linebacker, is part of the team on the defensive side of the ball.

Notre Dame joined Ohio State, Baylor and Alabama as teams with multiple honorees this year.

Named after a man known as the father of American football, the Walter Camp All-America team is the oldest in the country.
