2025 Team Preview: Northwestern Lehigh Tigers

Head Coach: Josh Snyder

2024 Record: 16-0

Key Losses: Bryer Reichard, Jared Meck, Jackson Bailey, Landen Matson, Seth Kern, Jackson Hunter

Returning Starters: QB Shane Leh, WR/LB Mason Bollinger, OL/DL Colton Popp, TE Shane Hulmes, WR Michael Lagowy, LB Brady Zimmerman,

Key Newcomers: RB/LB Braxton Lakatosh, OL/DL Braden Burke, OL/DL MJ Boring, WR/DB Kemurry Morgan, OL/DL Maddox Hurdle, OL/LB Nolan Koehler

Season Outlook: The tigers return five defensive starters from a year ago. They will rely on being aggressive and use their athleticism to give multiple looks. The defense has a good mix of players at all three levels that will give them depth. The defensive line lost a lot of experience with the graduation of three starters. The Tigers return two All-State LBs from a year ago in Shane Hulmes and Brady Zimmerman and look for that group to be leaders. Shane Leh will look to play safety, filling some big shoes with the graduation of Eli Zimmerman. Sophomore Michael Lagowy will return as the cover corner for the Tigers. There will be many new faces on the defensive side of the ball, but they will be difficult for opposing offenses.

The Tigers are returning five starters on offense. The Tigers will be replacing the 3A Offensive Player of the Year in Eli Zimmerman, as well as four of five offensive linemen. The offensive line will be anchored by returning starter Colton Popp at the tackle position. The offense will be more balanced this season, as it returns most of their skill position players from a season ago, including Shane Leh at QB, Mason Bollinger and Michael Lagowy at WR, and Shane Hulmes at TE. Brady Zimmerman and Braxton Lakatosh will factor in the skill positions as well.
