Danielson Named AFCA First-Team All American

The American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) released the 2022 AFCA NAIA Coaches' All-America Teams today. Montana Western senior offensive lineman Noah Danielson was named First Team All-American.

Danielson, a 6'4, 275lb offensive lineman from Vaughn, Mont., was also named to the First Team All-Conference Offense this season after his offense totaled 425 yards of offense per game and led the conference with 4675 total offensive yards. The Bulldogs also led the conference in rushing yards as they totaled 2104 yards this season. He has been a five-year team captain for the Bulldogs, a four-year starter, two time all-conference player, and has been named to the Dean's List four times.

The AFCA has selected an All-America team since 1945 and currently selects teams in all five of its divisions. What makes these teams so special is that they are the only ones chosen exclusively by the men who know the players the best — the coaches themselves.
