Lehigh’s steady kickoff weapon with engineering-grade reliability
John Zipf is a 6-foot, 170-pound junior K/P at Lehigh who has quietly carved out a clear role as the Mountain Hawks’ kickoff specialist. In the 2025 season, he handled kickoffs in five games and averaged 55.9 yards with seven touchbacks, while his 2024 action included a four-kick cameo at 60.0 yards per boot. The big differentiator: he’s a low-drama, high-trust specialist with a strong leg, plus the academic/engineering background that usually signals detail-oriented consistency. If you need field-position help and dependable execution, he fits the bill.
