NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Montana Tech's football team continued to collect postseason accolades over the holidays as a pair of Orediggers landed on the Walter Camp Football Foundation's NAIA All-America team. 

Seniors Tel Arthur and Levi Torgerson both earned spots on the team, which included 25 of the best in the NAIA for the 2025 season. 

Arthur, a linebacker from Missoula, led Montana Tech and ranked seventh in the nation with 105 tackles. The Frontier Conference East Division defensive player of the year made 7.5 tackles-for-loss, two of which were sacks. Arthur was also a first-team All-America pick by Victory Sports Network and a second-team NFCA/NAIA All-America selection. 

Torgerson, a wide receiver and return specialist from Great Falls, topped the NAIA leaderboard with 103 receptions and 1,370 yards, two of the 10 program records he toppled in his senior campaign. The Frontier East player of the year caught 14 touchdown passes, threw four, and collected another two in the return game. He was a first-team All-America pick from the AFCA, Associated Press, and Victory Sports Network as well. 

Montana Tech finished the 2025 season with a 12-1 record, setting the program record for wins in a season on the way to the Frontier East championship. The Orediggers earned the No. 3 seed in the NAIA Football Championship Series, reaching the quarterfinal round of the playoffs. 

The Walter Camp Football Foundation is an all-volunteer organization founded in 1967. The foundation operates year round promoting the best in college football through its awards program and financially supports worthy charities and youth-oriented organizations.
