The 1966 Little All-America college football team is composed of college football players from small colleges and universities who were selected by the Associated Press (AP) as the best players at each position. For 1966, the AP selected two teams, each team having separate offensive and defensive platoons.[1] [2]
Halfback Carl Garrett of New Mexico Highlands received first-team honors as a sophomore. He received the same honor again in 1967 and 1968 and went on to be named AFL Rookie of the Year in 1969.
Dwayne Nix of Texas A&I won first-team honors at offensive end and was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Linebacker John Huard of Maine also received first-team honor and was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. He was the first player form the University of Maine to be inducted.
