The Tulane Green Wave's success has not gone unnoticed, as a conference-high 13 student-athletes were named to American All-Conference Teams on Tuesday.

The program boasted five first-team selections -- only the Memphis Tigers were able to match that number. Additionally, redshirt freshman kicker Patrick Durkin was named the 2025 Special Teams Player of the Year. 

Here's a look at which players were named to the first, second, third and honorable mention American All-Conference teams. 

First-Team P Alec Clark

Although punters might be a bit overlooked in college athletics, Clark proved to be an incredible success story. He booted 42 punts for an average of 47.7 yards this year, but 16 have gone for 50 yards or more. In fact, his season-long was an impressive 70-yarder. 

First-Team K Patrick Durkin

Durkin finished the regular season ranked fifth nationally with 22 made field goals, and he had four kicks of 50 yards or more. He scored 102 total points on field goals and extra point attempts combined -- the most in the American. 

First-Team DL Santana Hopper

Hopper had a successful first year for the Green Wave as a transfer from Appalachian State. Offensive lines were largely unable to stop him, as the powerful defensive lineman picked up 26 tackles, 7.5 tackles-for-loss, 2.5 sacks and a fumble recovery so far this year.

First-Team OG Shadre Hurst

Hurst was a veteran on the Tulane offensive line, being a First-Team All-American selection last season as well. He started in all 12 regular season games and played a major role in the Green Wave's powerful rushing attack. 

First-Team S Jack Tchienchou

Tchienchou was an anchor in a fearsome Tulane secondary that is known for forcing turnovers. The second-year player tied for a team-high 68 tackles, but he did a bit of everything with a sack, an interception and two tackles-for-loss.

Second-Team LB Sam Howard

Howard might've been sidelined for three games with an injury, but he didn't let it stop him. The linebacker notched 41 tackles, 7.5 tackles-for-loss, two sacks and one fumble recovery this year.

Second-Team DL Tre'Von McAlpine

McAlpine served as another key piece on the Green Wave defensive line, with 31 tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery. As a transfer from Texas Tech, he made his presence known in a big way from the start.

Third-Team DS Jason Arredondo

Arredondo made an immediate impact as a freshman: he served as the long snapper on every punt and field goal attempt this year. He played a major role in the success of Durkin and Clark. 

Third-Team LB Harvey Dyson III

Dyson is another Texas Tech transfer who made an instant impact in Uptown. The linebacker led the team with nine tackles-for-loss and six sacks, which put him at an average of 0.50 sacks per game. He also had 32 tackles and a forced fumble.

Third-Team OT Derrick Graham

Graham joins first-team selection Hurst as a key part of a formidable offensive line that was hard to overpower in the trenches. The team succeeded on both the ground and through the air with the help of these tough offensive linemen. 

Third-Team RS TJ Smith

Smith was a do-it-all guy for the Green Wave this year. Aside from totaling 131 yards on four returns, he's also had 22 tackles, 2.5 tackles-for-loss and a sack. Oh, and let's not forget his blocked field goal on special teams!

Third-Team DB Javion White

This sophomore is expected to be a major factor on Tulane's defense for years to come. White tied a team-high with three interceptions -- the third-most in the conference -- and added 42 tackles, six pass breakups, three tackles-for-loss and a fumble recovery.

Honorable Mention DB Jahiem Johnson 

Johnson finished a successful second season with the Green Wave on a high note. The redshirt sophomore tied the team lead with three interceptions while adding a team-high seven pass breakups, 33 tackles and a forced fumble.

Tulane sits at 10-2 on the season and is eagerly awaiting Friday's American Conference Championship against the North Texas Mean Green.
