BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Three members of the Lehigh football team have been named to the National Football Foundation's Hampshire Honor Society, for their on-field and academic achievements, the NFF announced Wednesday. Lehigh's honorees for the 2025 season are linebacker Brycen Edwards, kicker Nick Garrido and defensive lineman Dillon Sheehan.

Edwards represented the Mountain Hawks on the Academic All-Patriot League team and was Lehigh's nominee and a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, as an accounting and finance major with a 3.35 GPA. He was Lehigh's top tackler in 2025 with 83, and added nine tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks.
Garrido was Lehigh's primary placekicker for the last three seasons. He converted 9-of-10 field goals and 35-of-36 extra points during the 2025 campaign. Academically, Garrido holds a 3.23 GPA as an economics major.
