Kaleb Platz brings WPIAL-tough, playmaking linebacker juice to Mercyhurst
In the 2025 season, Kaleb Platz arrived at Mercyhurst as a 6-foot-1, 235-pound linebacker with a reputation for finding the football, built on a senior year at Montour that included 109 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, and four interceptions. He was described by local coverage as a “steal” with top-state recognition, and his fit is obvious: physical, instinctive, and versatile enough to make impact plays in space. If you want a linebacker who looks comfortable playing downhill and hunting turnovers, Platz is the kind of get that can quietly elevate a defense.
