Two-Way Playmaker Turned Ball-Hawking Linebacker for Lindenwood
Jackson Hetzel is a versatile Lindenwood linebacker whose calling card is playmaking: in the 2024 season, he posted 12 tackles, added an interception, and forced a fumble, including a pick in the Lions’ 64-0 win over St. Thomas. He has steadily grown into a bigger, more physical defender since arriving as a 6'3" freshman and now checks in around 6'3"/228, which fits a rangy, downhill style. The fun part? He brings more than box-score tackles — he has the instincts and turnover juice coaches love.
