Conference USA Football 2022 All-Conference Team

Charlotte Athletics
The 2022 All-Conference USA Team is dominated by selections from expected frontrunners UAB (19) and UTSA (16). The Blazers and Roadrunners arenโt the only teams hitting double-digit all-conference picks, however. UTEP (13), WKU (12), Charlotte (11), FAU (10) and Louisiana Tech (10) also had at least 10 players selected on the Conference USA All-Conference Team for '22.
Athlon Sports has released its top 25 for 2022. Now, itโs time to take a look at the best of the best and honor the top players in the league with a release of first, second, third and fourth all-conference teams for 2022.
An important note on the all-conference teams: These are based on how players will perform in 2022. Career statistics and awards matter in the evaluation, but choosing players for the 2022 all-conference team is largely based on predicting and projecting the best for the upcoming year. Also, team strength does not play a role in selections. These are the best individual players at each position in the league for '22.
