There was no contemporaneous system in 1895 for determining a national champion. However, Penn was retroactively named as the national champion by the Billingsley Report, Helms Athletic Foundation, Houlgate System, and National Championship Foundation, and as a co-national champion by Parke H. Davis.[2]

Four Penn players were consensus first-team selections on the 1895 All-American football team: halfback George H. Brooke; center Alfred E. Bull; end Charlie Gelbert; and guard Charles Wharton.[3] Brooke, Gelbert, and Wharton were later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.[4][5][6]
