GREENWOOD, Ind. -- Senior linebacker Keenan Tyler was named to the 2025 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-America® team, as announced Tuesday by the organization. 

Tyler earned Second-Team Academic All-America recognition, becoming the 34th football student-athlete and the 141st overall student-athlete in Wartburg College history to receive the honor. 

A native of Decorah, Iowa, Tyler posted a 3.60 cumulative GPA while pursuing a degree in Business Administration. He was also selected to the 2025 American Rivers Conference All-Academic Team, part of a program and league-best 147 All-Academic honorees across all fall sports. 

In addition to his academic success, Tyler put together a standout season on the field. He earned All-America honors from all three major publications, receiving Second-Team recognition from D3football.com and First-Team honors from both the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and the Associated Press (AP). Tyler was a First-Team All-American Rivers Conference selection and was named the 2025 A-R-C Defensive MVP, marking the fourth consecutive season a Wartburg player has earned the award. He was also named to D3football.com's First-Team All-Region Defense. 

During the 2025 season, Tyler totaled 124 tackles, the fourth-highest single-season total in program history. He ranked second in the A-R-C in solo tackles per game (6.64) and third in total tackles. Tyler recorded career highs in solo tackles (73), assisted tackles (51), tackles for loss (7), and pass breakups (7).
