The All-Ireland winners have taken up six spots in this year’s honours list.
After fifteen seasons without a single All-Star, Armagh are back at the top of the Gaelic football mountain with six of their championship-winning players earning a spot on this year’s illustrious list.
There are five counties represented and 14 first-time winners, including Craig Lennon who stands as the sole Louth representative within the fifteen names.
The prolific wing-back was the championship’s highest-scoring defender with 4-7 across the season.
The Orchard County lead the way with six players, including Footballer of the Year nominee Barry McCambridge, while runners-up Galway have five, including their FOTY nominees Paul Conroy and John Maher.
All three are first-time All-Stars.
Donegal landed two spaces while Tyrone’s Niall Morgan is the man between the posts.
The 33-year-old goalkeeper is the only previous winner on the list, having won in 2021.
This year marks the first occasion since 2003 that there is not a single Dublin or Kerry player on the list.
The Dubs had four nominees after they were dethroned by Galway in the quarter-finals and the Kingdom three, following their extra-time loss to Armagh in the semis.
The All-Stars ceremony will take place on Friday at the RDS in Dublin, where the Footballer of the Year and Hurler of the Year/hurling team will be named live on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player.
