Robby Hauck cemented his place among the nation's elite student-athletes both on the field and in the classroom on Tuesday with a place on the College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA) NCAA Division-I Academic All-America first team.

Hauck is now one of just six Grizzlies to ever become a three-time Academic All-American after earning first-team honors in 2020 and second-team honors in 2021.

As the only player from the Big Sky Conference selected this year, Hauck was one of just five non-Ivy League players from the FCS named to the first team and was one of 13 repeat selections among 51 total honorees.

Hauck already holds two degrees from the University of Montana in Business Administration and Management Information Systems and is on track to finish his MBA in the spring, all while maintaining a cumulative 3.92 GPA.

Earlier in the year, he was named a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, known as the "Academic Heisman," was named Academic All-District in November, and earned Academic All-Big Sky honors for the second time in April.

Hauck became the Big Sky's all-time leading tackler in 2022, finishing his career with 482 stops in 53 games, having started every contest over the last five years at UM.

With 118 stops this year, Hauck posted 115-plus tackles in three different seasons, including a career-high 129 in 2019. His career total of 482 beats EWU's Ronnie Hamlin's previous Big Sky record of 473 and Montana State's Kane Ione's previous record of 471, set between 2000-2003. He also earned a place in the FCS record books as one of the top six tacklers of all time, finishing just 68 tackles shy of Illinois State's Boomer Grigsby's record of 550.

Last week he was named a first-team All-American by the Associated Press and earned first-team All-America honors by Stats Perform as well, released on Tuesday. He also finished No. 15 in the voting for the 2022 Buck Buchanan Award, earned All-America honors each year at UM, and was a two-time team captain.

Kentucky quaterback Will Levis was named the D-I Academic All-American Team Member of the Year after leading the Wildcats to a 7-5 record and completing 185 of his 283 passes for 2,406 yards and 19 touchdowns in 10 games this season with a 4.0 GPA in Finance.
