Orediggers Brandon Spencer gains All-American accolades

The following is a release from the Montana Tech Sports Information Department:

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Brandon Spencer continues to pile up the postseason honors in the wake of a tremendous senior season for the Montana Tech football program.
The Tech center garnered NAIA All-America honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation, the Connecticut-based organization announced Wednesday.

Spencer, a business and information technology major from Lolo, was a staple on an Oredigger offensive line that helped Tech lead the Frontier Conference in both scoring offense and rushing offense and allowed a league-fewest nine sacks in 12 games.

It was the third All-America accolade for Spencer's 2024 season. The American Football Coaches Association named him to its second team, and Victory Sports Network bestowed first-team honors on the senior.

Montana Tech finished the season with a 9-3 record and reached the NAIA Football Championship Series for a second-consecutive season. The Orediggers earned the No. 7 seed in the FCS and a first-round bye in the bracket before their season ended against No. 10-seeded Northwestern (Iowa) in the second round.

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.
