On some lists he's a returner, on others he's list d as all purpose.  Will that impact his "consensus" status?  One reason I ask, a small reason, is that I have read that a requirement for induction into the college hall of fame is either F Stanford award or consensus all American.

Here is what the NCAA said in introducing the recognized 2013 all-americans:

"The following players were listed on the most first team All-America teams competing against players at that position only. To be selected a player has to be named first team on at least two of the five selected All-American teams. Second and third teams were used to break ties. Ten players were unanimous choices by the five organizations used in the consensus chart — American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, The Sporting News and Walter Camp Foundation.  Note: Each of the five teams has a different way of listing the returner or all-purpose player.  For the purpose of the Consensus All-America team those categories were treated as one position."

So returner and all-purpose count as one position.
