BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Vandergrift Family Head Football Coach Kevin Cahill announced the addition of eight student-athletes to the Lehigh football program on Wednesday's National Signing Day. The Mountain Hawks have added five student-athletes to their class of 2030, with two players signing on Wednesday and three others joining the incoming class after the initial December announcement.
Â
In addition, Lehigh has added three student-athletes to the current roster from the transfer portal.
Â
"We are excited to add high quality people to our Lehigh football family," Cahill said. "Naturally, we are drawn to these high-quality football players, but the character of these men will continue to build our program in the direction we want to go."
Â
Joining the program Wednesday are linebacker Josh Lenart from Norwin in western Pennsylvania and offensive lineman Bryce Willey from Malvern Prep.
Â
The three incoming first-year additions since the December signing day announcement included Lehigh Valley products Jake Pukszyn and Silas Day and offensive lineman Case Jacobson from California.
Â
Lehigh's three additions from the portal are wide receiver Landon Kennel from Lancaster, Pa., by way of Monmouth; running back Trey Tremba from Slatington, Pa., and Army West Point; and safety TJ Hill from Westhampton Beach, N.Y., who comes from Arkansas State.
Â
"Our coaches, players, administration and campus community worked hard to find the right fits for Lehigh football," Cahill said. "This class will certainly help #TheNest grow beyond previously viewed limits."
Â
The additions to the Class of 2030 join the 16 student-athletes that signed in December, with the current incoming first-year class now at 21.
