1945 All-Eastern football team

The 1945 All-Eastern football team consists of American football players chosen at the end of the 1945 college football season as the best at each position from teams playing college football at schools in the Eastern United States. The organizations selecting All-Eastern teams in 1945 included the Associated Press (AP) and the United Press (UP).

The undefeated 1946 Army Cadets football team dominated the team with six players receiving first-team honors: backs Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard; end Hank Foldberg; tackles Tex Coulter and Albert Nemetz; and guard John Green. A seventh Army player, Barney Poole, received second-team honors from the AP.[1][2]
